The problem is packet loss. A single buffer is used for reassembly. If you are missing packets when reassembly is done then the old data is still in the gaps...
Does this mean snort can INCORRECTLY trigger an alert based on this "corrupt" data, or does it mean that some part of the recorded stream *besides* the bit that triggered the alert is corrupt? If the latter, then I for one would rather it be NULLed, as I certainly get a bit confused when it happens at the moment (i.e. this is a "me too" as well) Hope that makes sense. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
