Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are exposed to this issue?

Suricata versions before 8.0.7 are affected when HTTP/2 transactions are inspected by rules using http.response_header both with and without a transform.

2

What does an attacker need to exploit it?

The published vector indicates network-based exploitation with low attack complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction. The vulnerable condition is reached through HTTP/2 transaction inspection and the relevant rule configuration.

3

Are default Suricata rules necessarily affected?

The available information does not establish whether the default rule set contains the required combination of http.response_header rules. Exposure depends on rules that inspect a transaction using that keyword with and without a transform.

4

What should be done if immediate patching is not possible?

Review and limit rules that use http.response_header with and without a transform for HTTP/2 traffic until Suricata can be updated to 8.0.7 or later.
