Zusammenfassung:	NOSUMMARY
Beschreibung:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:613. Snort is an Open Source Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). ISS X-Force has discovered[1] a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability in Snort. It resides in the RPC preprocessor, which is responsible for normalizing RPC traffic before its analisys by the rules processor. A remote atacker able to insert specially crafted RPC traffic in the network being monitored by snort may crash the sensor or execute arbitrary code in the context of it, which is run by the root user. The RPC preprocessor feature was added in snort 1.8, which is distributed with Conectiva Linux 8. Users of Conectiva Linux versions 6.0 and 7.0 are not vulnerable to this attack. IMPORTANT: Please note that this update is from snort 1.8.4b1 to 1.9.1. Since several components have changed in snort 1.9.1, the old snort.conf file and the alerts database need some small changes in order to work with this new version. Instructions about how to smoothly upgrade are available at the end of this announcement. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.iss.net/issEn/delivery/xforce/alertdetail.jsp?oid=21951 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:613 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : High
