CVE-2023-35852 Information

Description

In Suricata before 6.0.13 (when there is an adversary who controls an external source of rules) a dataset filename that comes from a rule may trigger absolute or relative directory traversal and lead to write access to a local filesystem. This is addressed in 6.0.13 by requiring allow-absolute-filenames and allow-write (in the datasets rules configuration section) if an installation requires traversal/writing in this situation.
