Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-18 13:05:24 UTC
The Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team (VRT) has learned of a 
vulnerability in Snort v2.4.0 and higher. Users are only vulnerable if the 
Back Orifice preprocessor is enabled. Snort v2.4.3 has been released to 
correct the issue.

netmon please advise and bump as needed.

just tested a new ebuild for 2.4.3 with all USE flags enabled and seems to be
fine,so have revbumped in cvs.
