Descriptions

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to version 7.0.8, DNS resource name compression can lead to small DNS messages containing very large hostnames which can be costly to decode, and lead to very large DNS log records. While there are limits in place, they were too generous. The issue has been addressed in Suricata 7.0.8.

Suricata es un sistema de detección de intrusiones, un sistema de prevención de intrusiones y un motor de monitoreo de seguridad de red. Antes de la versión 7.0.8, la compresión de nombres de recursos DNS podía generar mensajes DNS pequeños que contenían nombres de host muy grandes, cuya decodificación podía resultar costosa, y generar registros DNS muy grandes. Si bien existen límites, estos eran demasiado generosos. El problema se solucionó en Suricata 7.0.8.
