Just to make sure there is no confusion, this is regarding the vulnerability found in the Back Orifice preprocessor in Snort 2.4.0-2.4.2. Snort 2.4.3 has been released to correct the issue and provide detection capabilities for attempts to exploit the vulnerability. This was announced on the site and mailing lists on October 18, 2005 at 9:18am EDT.

Complete details are available at http://www.snort.org/rules/advisories/snort_update_20051018.html.

As always, let me know if anyone has any questions.

Thanks,
Jennifer

No mention on Snort.org or in the list.

It's sounds good, but I still can't configure snort + barnyard.

Last configs:

  - snort:

output log_unified: filename snort.log, limit 128

  - barnyard:

output log_acid_db: mysql, sensor_id 1, database snort, server x.x.x.x, user
xxxxx, password xxxxx, detail full

In /log directory I see "snort.log.<timestamp>", "barnyard.waldo"
(with correct link to snort.log) and "alert" (with alerts produced by
snort).

Watching log files I see that barnyard works (link in waldo file
follows growing snort.log), but I don't get any new alerts in DB.

Using previous variant of configs (using unified alert) barnyard put
all alerts in DB.

Please, point me where I make mistake.
