Snort 2.20 Denial of Service exploit posted

K-OTik notified us of this exploit for Snort 2.2 and 
earlier:http://www.k-otik.com/exploits/20041222.angelDust.c.php

It will core dump a running Snort process with a specially crafted packed. 
The recommended fix is to upgrade to Snort 2.3 RC1 or better which various 
handlers have reported is stable. This particular exploit works with 
Linux-based distributions, but not BSD-based. (We tried RHEL3, Debian, and 
OpenBSD).
