What are the steps to reproduce? Can you share your yaml & rules? What hardware do you use?

I am running Suricata on a VM with 8 cores and 32 gb ram. Also I have attached the necessary files - Suricata.yaml, Rules and iprep to reproduce the issue. Please let me know if you want any other information.

Thanks

Did you try to remove some rules or iprep? For example the phishing.rules to see if you can narrow it down to some specific ruleset or the amount of rules?

The err message :

SCRealloc failed: Cannot allocate memory, while trying to allocate 18446744071562067968 bytes

looks exactly the same as in https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/1843
so it may be related.

"Did you try to remove some rules or iprep? For example the phishing.rules to see if you can narrow it down to some specific ruleset or the amount of rules?" :)
Maybe you have overseen my questions.
