- EmThreats_link opens now in separate browser window -- Juergen Leising for Micah Gersten
- A new reference "[rule]" points now to base_local_rules.php,
which displays a particular rule for a given rules id (sid).
Prerequisite for this is that "local_rules_dir" in base_conf.php
points to an actually existing and readable/searchable directory which
contains the snort rules. Please note, that a web server
is usually NOT allowed to access any files outside of its
document root. Feature request by Chris Ryan, cf.

-- Juergen Leising
- The "email-the-alerts"-variables were defined twice at different
locations in base_conf.php. Fixed this. -- Juergen Leising
- Emails from BASE containing one or more alerts include now a
"To:"-header, as well. Bug report no. 2234733 -- Juergen Leising
- $sort_order, once it has been chosen, survives now a possible "action",
even in base_stat_uaddr.php, base_stat_ports.php, base_stat_iplink.php,
base_stat_class.php and base_stat_sensor.php.
Bug no. 2234745. -- Juergen Leising
- The refresh-problem, when an "action" has been taken, is now fixed in
base_stat_uaddr.php, base_stat_ports.php, base_stat_iplink.php,
base_stat_class.php and base_stat_sensor.php, as well.
Bug no. 1681012. -- Juergen Leising
- I have corrected the way ICMP redirect messages are displayed
by BASE, inspired by Bruno G. San Alejo. -- Juergen Leising

table, so far, are now processed and displayed by BASE. This affects
all those preprocessors which have sig names that do NOT start with
a "spp_" prefix. -- Juergen Leising

the owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.
(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake
variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages
that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.
(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.

all PEAR packages to php?-pear-* and all Apache packages to ap13-* or
ap2-* respectively. Add new variables to simplify the Makefile
handling. Add CONFLICTS on the old names. Reset revisions of bumped
packages. ap-php will now depend on the default Apache and PHP version.
All programs using it have an implicit option of the Apache version
as well.
OK from jlam@ and adrianp@.

engine to search and process a database of security events generated by
various IDSes, firewalls, and network monitoring tools. The features currently
include:
o Query-builder and search interface for finding alerts matching
on alert meta information (e.g. signature, detection time) as well as
the underlying network evidence (e.g. source/destination address, ports,
payload, or flags).
o Packet viewer (decoder) will graphically display the layer-3 and
layer-4 packet information of logged alerts
o Alert management by providing constructs to logically group alerts
to create incidents (alert groups), deleting the handled alerts or
false positives, exporting to email for collaboration, or archiving of
alerts to transfer them between alert databases.
o Chart and statistic generation based on time, sensor, signature, protocol,
IP address, TCP/UDP ports, or classification
