Description

Suricata is a complex piece of software dealing with mostly untrusted input. Mishandling this input will have serious consequences:

  • in IPS mode a crash may knock a network offline;
  • in passive mode a compromise of the IDS may lead to loss of critical and confidential data;
  • missed detection may lead to undetected compromise of the network.

In other words, we think the stakes are pretty high, especially since in many common cases the IDS/IPS will be directly reachable by an attacker.
