Re: preprocessor normalize_tcp: ips ecn stream dropping SYN retransmission

[Amm Snort <ammdispose-snort () yahoo com>]

Hello all,


I am attaching a temporary workaround (one line patch). Do not know if this could be final fix.

Do not know if this is right fix and do not know if it has any bad side effect.
So use at your own risk.


It atleast resolves (bypasses) the problem I described.

Please do post if you think this has bad side effect or you have better solution.

Thanks


Amm.
