How to fix?

Upgrade suricata to version 4.0.5 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. Suricata version 4.0.4 incorrectly handles the parsing of the SSH banner. A malformed SSH banner can cause the parsing code to read beyond the allocated data because SSHParseBanner in app-layer-ssh.c lacks a length check.
