LibHTP is a security-aware parser for the HTTP protocol and the related bits and pieces. Prior to version 0.5.49, unbounded processing of HTTP request and response headers can lead to excessive CPU time and memory utilization, possibly leading to extreme slowdowns. This issue is addressed in 0.5.49.

LibHTP is a security-aware parser for the HTTP protocol and the related bits and pieces. Version 0.5.46 may parse malformed request traffic, leading to excessive CPU usage. Version 0.5.47 contains a patch for the issue. No known workarounds are available.

libhtp 0.5.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference).

htpparseauthorizationdigest in htpparsers.c in LibHTP 0.5.26 allows remote attackers to cause a heap-based buffer over-read via an authorization digest header.

In OISF LibHTP before 0.5.31, as used in Suricata 4.1.4 and other products, an HTTP protocol parsing error causes the httpheader signature to not alert on a response with a single \r\n ending.
