This is a sample script for ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d that will
wake snort up on boot, and take it down on shutdown. Nothing
fancy here. This is needed, because I'm planning on teaching
ACID many new things, and ACID expects snort to help itself.
There is only one thing that requires thinking here: This
should run only after {MySQL|PostgreSQL} server is up, as
snort might want to report to the local server.

The Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team has learned of an integer
overflow in the Snort stream4 preprocessor used by the Sourcefire
Network Sensor product line. The Snort stream4 preprocessor
(spp_stream4) incorrectly calculates segment size parameters during
stream reassembly for certain sequence number ranges which can lead to
an integer overflow that can be expanded to a heap overflow.

A buffer overflow has been found in the snort RPC normalization
routines by ISS X-Force. This can cause snort to execute
arbitrary code embedded within sniffed network packets. This
preprocessor is enabled by default.
