Sourcefire VRT Certified Snort Rules Update

Synopsis:
The Sourcefire VRT is aware of vulnerabilities affecting hosts using the 
Microsoft Windows operating system.

Details:
Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS08-001):
The Microsoft Windows operating system contains a programming error that 
may allow a remote attacker to execute code on an affected system.
It should be noted however, that the likelihood of this issue being 
actively exploited is minimal.

Shared object rules to detect attacks targeting this vulnerability are 
included in this release and are identified with GID 3 and SIDs 13287 and 
13288.

For a complete list of new and modified rules please see:

http://www.snort.org/vrt/docs/ruleset_changelogs/changes-2008-01-08.html


IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The structure of the "so_rules" directory inside the rule packages has 
changed.  The following is a break out of the new directory structure:
                        __________

so_rules/
   src/
   precompiled/
          <distro>/
              <platform>/
                    <snort-version>

Where:
<distro> is one of the following values:
   a. CentOS-4.6
   b. CentOS-5.1
   c. FC-5
   d. OSX-10.4
   e. ubuntu-6.01.1

<platform> is one of the following values:
   a. i386

<snort-version> is one of the following values
   a. 2.6.1.5
   b. 2.7.0
   c. 2.8.0.1

There have been no changes to the src/ directory layout from previous 
packages.

The reason for this change is two fold.  The first reason for this is to 
better serve the snort community by pre-compiling the "SO" rules so they 
are easier to use on the various platforms utilized by the snort community 
and the VRT subscribers. Additionally due to contract terms with some 3rd 
party research organizations a small number of VRT certified rules will now 
only be delivered as binaries. This change is limited to shared object 
rules. Non-SO rules will not be affected.
                                                                              
                                  _____________

If your platform / distro is not currently listed above this does not
mean these shared objects won't work on your platform.  Numerous Linux
distributions share common libc versions and it is possible that one of the 
above distributions and platforms will work on your system.  If none of the 
above combinations work on your platform please send a note to the 
snort-sigs mailing list so we can gage the need for additional platforms 
and distributions to be added to the list of supported platforms.
