Lukas,

Have you had a chance to upgrade?  Have you had any additional
problems or did they go away?


Thanks,

~Patrick

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your quick answer and yes I will upgrade the Snort pattern.
But the probability that the same problem occurs in newer versions is
high or not?

Lukas,

We are investigating the issue, however, in the meantime, is there anyway you can upgrade your version of Snort and 
it's SO rules?

Lukas,

Thanks for writing in.

No, a name change to the flow bit would not cause this problem.

Hi everybody,

We have with the snort version 2920 some problems.
Sometimes following core dump occurs:

#0 rule17647eval (p=0xffe29b5c)
at web-client_cve-2007-0071-swf-definesceneandframelabeldata-rce.c:245
cursor_normal = 0x9aad86e<Address 0x9aad86e out of bounds>
end_of_payload = 0xe5c91638<Address 0xe5c91638 out of bounds>
type_and_length = 975
tag_length = 601998450
001 0xf6da4844 in CheckRule (p=0xffe29b5c, r=0xf6c5ba60)
at sf_snort_detection_engine.c:189
No locals.
#2 0x080b7053 in DynamicCheck (option_data=0x23e1c472, p=0xffe29b5c)
at sp_dynamic.c:265
result =<optimized out>

I recognized that the flowbit of the rule 17647 has changed from
http.swf to file.swf since 2904
and with this older version of snort we have never had this core dump
before.

It may be that an error was made when the change happend?
If the problem is already known, can it be fixed by a simple version update?

Thanks in advance,
Lukas Matt
