Is it worth the upgrade from 2.8.5.2 to 2.8.5.3? Only thing I see in the README on snort.org is: "2010-02-12 - Snort 2.8.5.3 [*] Improvements * General code improvements and clean up in the rpc preprocessor related to the processing of Sun rpc data. * Fixed an issue where, under particular conditions, a reload of the Snort configuration file without a restart would cause Snort to stop responding." Doesn't seem like it's worth it if you aren't using the RPC or reloading of the config file.
