Snort 2.8.0.1 segfaults on a specific rule - parser bug (?)
From: Andreas Maus <maus () ypbind de>
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:15:21 +0100
Hi list!
After an upgrade of the bleedingedge ruleset I discovered that
Snort (2.8.0 and 2.8.0.1) dumps core on a specific rule.
This rule can be found in bleeding-botcc.rules. There is only
on rule so finding that rule was easy ;)
The offending rule is:
alert ip $HOME_NET any -> [] any (msg:"BLEEDING-EDGE DROP Known Bot C&C Server Traffic (group 1) ";
reference:url,www.shadowserver.org; threshold: type limit, track by_src, seconds 3600, count
:trojan-activity; sid:2404000; rev:1026;)
I guess it is the "-> []" part that triggers the core dump
(I will also post a mail to the appropiate mailinglist - snort-sigs ?
about this).
Anyway I don't think it is the desired behavior to just SIGSEGV.
An error will be o.k.
The outout from snort was:
Running in Test mode with config file: /etc/snort/snort.conf
Running in IDS mode

Despite fixing the rule, is there a known workaround ?
Maybe this issue will be fixed in 2.8.0.2 ;)
So long,
Andreas.
