Re: Bus error on sparc

Hi all,

I debug a little bit with gdb and see that snort always crashs with activated stream4 in decode.c at DecodeUDP line 2329.

This is the first time where the function accesses the ip header (p->iph->...). The surprising thing is that this code only crashs with activated stream4 but stream4 should never access a package which is not tcp. So has somebody an idea why stream4 does anything with a udp packet?

I find a function NotForStream4 which checks for an existent tcp header. Is it possible that this header is not NULL even if it is a udp packet?

Greetings Michael

P.S. should I ask such questions on snort-devel?
