Snort Advisory Date: 2006-09-27 Sourcefire is aware of an issue in Snort that can produce segmentation faults in certain circumstances. This issue occurs when Snort is handling a large number of sessions and the configuration item cache_clean_percent is set to anything other than 0. Open-source Snort users who have not manually modified the default configuration for stream4 are unaffected by this issue. Only users who have added the cache_clean_percent option to their stream4 configuration are affected. They should change their configuration to use the parameter cache_clean_sessions instead. The latest CVS source downloads for the Snort 2.6.1, 2.6.0, and 2.4 branches now contain a fix for this issue. The next version of Snort will contain this fix. Thanks to Eric Hines from Applied Watch for reporting the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
