Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OISF Suricata up to 7.0.16/8.0.5. It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown processing of the file src/ippair.c of the component IPPair. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a comparison vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-697. The product compares two entities in a security-relevant context, but the comparison is incorrect, which may lead to resultant weaknesses. This is going to have an impact on integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6, crafted IPv4 and IPv6 address pairs can collide in the IPPair hash because src/ippair.c did not compare the IP address family before reusing IPPair-backed state. This can apply state from one IP family to another for xbits track ip_pair, FTP data expectations, and, on the 7.0 release line, thresholding, detection_filter, and rate_filter rules using track by_both, causing incorrect detection state. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.6 and 7.0.17.

The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-57222 since 06/24/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy.
