CVE-2017-15377  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade suricata to version 3.2.5 or higher.

Overview

In Suricata before 4.x, it was possible to trigger lots of redundant checks on the content of crafted network traffic with a certain signature, because of DetectEngineContentInspection in detect-engine-content-inspection.c. The search engine doesn't stop when it should after no match is found; instead, it stops only upon reaching inspection-recursion-limit (3000 by default).
