Re: Snort v2.7.0 Now Available

Can you add your stream5 conf? BTW, if you have icmp tracking on in
stream5 turn it off as this is still experimental.

Cheers,
Justin

I do not have a backtrace or pcap to provide, sorry.

I used a compiled version using the following options:

./configure --prefix=/opt/snort --enable-pthread
--enable-dynamicplugin --enable-gre

This is on Ubuntu feisty (server).

Command-line options are:

/opt/snort/bin/snort -c /opt/snort/etc/snort_eth0.conf -K none

Making only a change to the config to switch from stream5 (when it
crashes after 1-2 minutes) to stream4 caused the Snort process to
remain stable and not segfault. Because of the consistency of the
segfault timeframe, I'm not sure it's related to the traffic crossing
the monitored wire.

Thanks,

Colin Grady

Colin,

Can you please provide some addtional detail? What OS, version etc?
Are you using a binary from snort.org or did you compile from source?
If you compiled from source what configure and build options did you
use? Do you have a pcap or backtrace associated with this fault? If
you have a backtrace and/or pcap and do not wish to post it to the
list please send to bugs () snort org.


Cheers,
Justin

I'm seeing a segmentation fault occur after a couple minutes of
running in IDS mode -- doesn't seem to matter if it's in daemon mode
or not. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

Snort v2.7.0 has been released. The software and source code is
available at: http://snort.org/dl/

A development version of v2.7.0 was mistakenly posted over the weekend.
   We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.  The final
v2.7.0 is now available on the Snort site.

Snort v2.7.0 includes:

     * Target-based stream reassembly, including handling of TCP data
overlaps and anomalous TCP header flags on a per-destination basis. 11
different target-based policies are supported. See README.stream5 for
specific configuration options for operating system targets.
     * UDP session tracking
     * Option to emulate Stream4 flushing behaviour
     * Stream5 replaces BOTH Stream4 & Flow -- should disable both of
these when Stream5 is enabled.
     * Security and memory footprint improvements

Happy Snorting!
