CVE-2026-71418 PUBLISHED

Suricata doh2: crafted HTTP/2 DATA frames can cause quadratic CPU consumption

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 06.08.2026 Published: 18.09.2026 Updated: 18.09.2026

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. From 8.0.0 until 8.0.6, DNS-over-HTTP/2 processing in rust/src/http2/http2.rs retains previously processed HTTP/2 DATA frame contents instead of clearing the internal buffer. Multiple DATA frames with the EndOfStream flag set can grow the buffer to its 65 KiB limit while causing all prior contents to be processed again, producing quadratic CPU complexity, degraded packet processing, loss of monitoring visibility, or denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.6.
