Ahh, missed that.. I'd suspect the snort-devels are focusing on making sure 
2.0 is stable, and then will backport this a bit later. It's only been a 
bit under 24 hours, so I'm not too surprised that a patch for 1.9.1 wasn't 
out the second the vulnerability was detected.... I also suspect that this 
bug was detected during 2.0 development, and caused for a 
hastier-than-normal 2.0 release.

Personally I'd rather they at least release _some_ fixed version as soon as 
possible rather than delaying releasing any fix at all until both branches 
are fixed.

I would however agree that a patch for 1.9.x should be released.
