Synopsis ========
Snort contains a vulnerability in the rule matching algorithm that could result in a Denial of Service.
Background ==========
Snort is a widely deployed intrusion detection program.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/snort < 2.6.1.2 >= 2.6.1.2
Description ===========
Randy Smith, Christian Estan and Somesh Jha discovered that the rule matching algorithm of Snort can be exploited in a way known as a "backtracking attack" to perform numerous time-consuming operations.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could send specially crafted network packets, which would result in the cessation of the detections and the consumption of the CPU resources.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Snort users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/snort-2.6.1.2"
References ==========
