Re: Snort Rules for CVE-2020-1350

["Joel Esler \(jesler\) via Snort-sigs" <snort-sigs () lists snort org>]

Upgrading Snort is the way to go.  2.9.8.3 was released over 4 years ago.  We’ve released at least 6 versions of Snort 
since then.  We only haven’t EOL’ed 2.9.8.3 because of a single hardware platform that hasn’t moved off of it yet.  We 
are planning on EOL’ing it this fall, however.

I suggest anyone on 2.9.8.3 upgrade to the latest version now.  Don’t wait.  One day it will be gone.
