CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest suricata to version 2.0.4-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream suricata package and not the suricata package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

The SSHParseBanner function in SSH parser (app-layer-ssh.c) in Suricata before 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to bypass SSH rules, cause a denial of service (crash), or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted banner, which triggers a large memory allocation or an out-of-bounds write.
