CVE-2023-35852 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:12.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream suricata package and not the suricata package as distributed by Debian.
In Suricata before 6.0.13 (when there is an adversary who controls an external source of rules), a dataset filename, that comes from a rule, may trigger absolute or relative directory traversal, and lead to write access to a local filesystem. This is addressed in 6.0.13 by requiring allow-absolute-filenames and allow-write (in the datasets rules configuration section) if an installation requires traversal/writing in this situation.
