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.
