This is CVE-2009-3641. snort-2.8.5.1-1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/snort-2.8.5.1-1.fc10 snort-2.8.5.1-1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/snort-2.8.5.1-1.fc11 snort-2.8.5.1-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository.

If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. this was never closed, snort has long been removed from fedora (In reply to Dennis Gilmore from comment #8) > this was never closed, snort has long been removed from fedora Thanks, Dennis. And there's no willingness / possibility to bring it back? Can you clarify the reasons why it got deprecated? (can't find an entry for it in: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Deprecated_packages) Thank you && Regards, Jan the rules became propietory, there is some community GPL ones but they did not do much. the way it was built multiple times with different config options was akward. It came down to the software being a mess and the availabily of useful rules slim. It really is not worth the effort to maintain.
