An integer underflow issue has been reported in the experimental GRE protocol decoder. This could present a potential vulnerability or cause the Snort process to fail. This issue should affect a small minority of users, because it only exists for users who: 1. Download Snort source code from releases 2.6.1, 2.6.1.1, or 2.6.1.2 AND 2. Configure the build using the --enable-gre option, to enable the experimental GRE protocol decoder This issue does not exist for users who do not meet both of these conditions. A fix for the issue is in the Snort 2.6.1 development branch. Users who have built Snort with --enable-gre are advised to recompile Snort without the --enable-gre feature, or check out the code from the 2.6.1 branch and rebuild it with the --enable-gre feature. Thanks to Chris Rohlf of Calyptix Security for reporting the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
