Summary

An issue was discovered in Suricata 5.0.0. It was possible to bypass/evade any tcp based signature by faking a closed TCP session using an evil server. After the TCP SYN packet, it is possible to inject a RST ACK and a FIN ACK packet with a bad TCP Timestamp option. The client will ignore the RST ACK and the FIN ACK packets because of the bad TCP Timestamp option. Both linux and windows client are ignoring the injected packets.

CVE-2019-18625

It was possible to bypass/evade any tcp based signature by faking a
closed TCP session using an evil server. After the TCP SYN packet, it
was possible to inject a RST ACK and a FIN ACK packet with a bad TCP
Timestamp option. The client would have ignored the RST ACK and the
FIN ACK packets because of the bad TCP Timestamp option.

CVE-2019-18792

It was possible to bypass/evade any tcp based signature by overlapping
a TCP segment with a fake FIN packet. The fake FIN packet had to be
injected just before the PUSH ACK packet we wanted to bypass. The PUSH
ACK packet (containing the data) would have been ignored by Suricata
because it would have overlapped the FIN packet (the sequence and ack
number are identical in the two packets). The client would have
ignored the fake FIN packet because the ACK flag would not have been
set.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
2.0.7-2+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your suricata packages.

to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
