Snort 2.9.0.2 / barnyard2 / base 1.4.5 signature not displayed and is unclassified

[JS <jspudz () yahoo com>]

All,

I recently decided to update my IDS(RHEL 5) to use the latest versions of snort, 
barnyard, and base. Previously this was all working fine. I am able to compile 
snort 2.9.0.2, barnyard2, and base 1.4.5 just fine. Everything is working except 
for a few signatures showing up in Base.

They are logging fine to my db, its just that a few of the alerts are showing up 
as "unclassified" and the Signature is displaying as " Snort Alert [129:15:0] ". 
I also see the same events logged for signatures 120:3:0 and 129:16:0. Now I did 
use the snort rules 2.9.0.1 as 2.9.0.2 are not out yet so I'm not sure if that 
is causing a problem or not.. 


I also created a new db, from the create_mysql included in snort 2.9.0.2. I then 
copied over the sid-msg.map, gen-msg.map, classification.config, unicode.map, 
and reference.config to the /etc/snort directory that were included in 
snort.2.9.0.2 tar file. 


I looked in the gen-msg.map file and I only see it going up to "14" for the 129 
stream5 event. Could this be the problem? Snippit below:

--snippet from gen-msg.map--
129 || 13 || stream5: TCP 4-way handshake detected
129 || 14 || stream5: TCP Timestamp is missing
130 || 1 || dcerpc: Maximum memory usage reached
131 || 1 || dns: Obsolete DNS RData Type
 --end snippet--

Have  I missed a step somewhere ? I have never seen this happen in my other 
snort deployments utilizing this same setup.

Thanks,
Joe
