CVE-2018-14568
This allows detection bypass because Windows TCP clients proceed with normal processing of TCP data that arrives shortly after an RST (i.e., they act as if the RST had not yet been received).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Suricata before 4.0.5 stops TCP stream inspection upon a TCP RST from a server. This allows detection bypass because Windows TCP clients proceed with normal processing of TCP data that arrives shortly after an RST (i.e., they act as if the RST had not yet been received).
