When can we expect an updated Snort 1.9.1 RPM?
This version will be shipped with the upcoming SuSE Linux distribution.
Bye, Thomas
Will there be no Update for existing distributions as it is not a minor fix, but an important update for everyone using snort on a box. With sendmail the reaction was quite fast, with snort the problem wasn't even mentioned here (with the workaround). I just wonder a little bit about your answert that the next release will contain the fixed snort-rpm.
Hmmm ... thinking about priorities .... In security!

So basically SuSE says 'If you want snort with that security fix, go and _BUY_ the next SuSE which hasnt even been announced?
Snort is open source. You do not need to buy SuSE for just using snort.
If you do not want to compile it on your own look at
http://www.snort.org/dl/binaries/ . Someone may publish an RPM there
very soon I think.
