Description Ken Garland 2005-05-06 11:13:34 UTC
Version bump, fixes, patches - the usual new version stuff. Security fix that was featured in Gentoo bugs already by Gentoo Security.

This release covers two points, listed below:

    * Issues with suppressing sfPortscan Open Ports have been fixed.
    * Added a new mini-preprocessor to catch the X-Link2State vulnerability. This preprocessor can be configured to drop the offending connection when in Inline-mode. Please read snort.conf or the snort manual for more details. This preprocessor is enabled by default in snort.conf.

2.3.3 is in CVS.  I have no earthly idea what a "X-Link2State vulnerability" is.

Security peeps, please let me know if this is something that warrants a GLSA (I doubt it, but I'd rather ask you guys than ignore it).

Bah ok so I misunderstood.  Sorry for the spam.
