Re: Win32 snort crashing when -A not used

Perhaps this is old news: I have experienced a reproducible crash of Snort 1.8.7 on Win2K when -A option is not used on the command line. It happens with both Build 121 from Silicon Defense as well as my own compilation of Build 128. Further digging found that Snort performs fclose on an illegal FILE handle in FastAlertCleanExitFunc or FullAlertCleanExitFunc (depending on the config file). The debugger
sees
two(!) of these fclose calls. The first one looks legitimate; it is the second one that causes the crash. Anybody knows a remedy?
I'm seeing the same thing on Win2k using version 1.8.7beta5-ODBC-Win32 (build 128) barebones_release with the just-downloaded-and-installed WinPcap v2.3. Two different "crashes"; one rebooted the PC automatically, the other hung the machine requiring a power recycle. I also installed IDScenter 1.09 beta2, and it too has a couple of bugs including: a. no way to "see" how to set the -A flag, b. IDScenter complains about a missing classification file (but then it is fine after stopping/restarting IDScenter) c. IDScenter does not "start" snort when the button is selected; can only be started from the system tray icon (right-click, Start Snort) d. Pop-up window that says "Must generate Script", but nothing to indicate how/where to do that. (Found out the hard way that clicking the Apply button apparently does that when no errors have been found) Rich ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Two, two, TWO treats in one. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
