Thank you to Michael Dickenson for their contribution to this release.

This release fixes the following security issues:

  • A specially-crafted series of MIME headers sent via SMTP or HTTP could cause Zeek to use large amounts of memory and potentially crash. Due to the fact that these packets can be received from remote hosts, this considered a DoS risk and is a high-severity vulnerability. The fix included is to add a new MIME::max_header_bytes script variable that sets the maximum size of a MIME header. If the limit is reached, a new exceeded_mime_max_header_bytes weird will be reported and the packet will not be processed any further.

This release fixes the following bugs:

  • Sqlite storage backends no longer potentially write data into a single database file across multiple unrelated backend handles.

  • A crash in the table code was fixed if reallocation failed while resizing.

  • Spicy was updated to v1.14.1.
