| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Suricata, a network Intrusion Detection System. A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists when loading JSON or NDJSON datasets. This occurs because the system incorrectly assumes a configured `value_key` will always resolve to a string. A trusted or untrusted dataset or rule feed containing a non-string value for this key can trigger the flaw, causing Suricata to crash during startup, configuration testing, or rule reloading, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
