CVE-2018-10242

Suricata version 4.0.4 incorrectly handles the parsing of the SSH banner.

HIGH 7.5EPSS 1.56%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.56%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

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.
