Unauthenticated detection bypass via mismatched SYN tracking
Published Oct 1, 2025 · Updated Oct 1, 2025
Detection bypass in OISF Suricata 7.0.11 and earlier and 8.0.0 allows remote attackers to evade IDS alerts with crafted TCP traffic. The TCP stream tracker replaces session state for repeated SYN packets instead of retaining sequence-specific candidates for later SYN/ACK matching. An unauthenticated attacker able to send monitored traffic can hide a TCP session in IDS mode; IPS mode blocks the flow instead.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=< 7.0.12
- Affected versionversion=>= 8.0.0, < 8.0.1
