[TriLUG] Snort vulnerability...

[Jon Carnes]

How ironic is this?

=== Cert Advisory TA05-291A ===
The Snort Back Orifice preprocessor contains a buffer overflow that
could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a
vulnerable system.

Snort is a widely-deployed, open-source network intrusion detection
system (IDS). Snort and its components are used in other IDS
products, notably Sourcefire Intrusion Sensors, and Snort is
included with a number of operating system distributions.
