Log Message:
Update snort to 1.8.6. Patch provided in private mail by Mipam
<mipam@ibb.net>. From the release notes:
1.8.4 and 1.8.5 both had bugs that were found right as we were ready
to do a full release and represented good midway points but 1.8.6
should be the stable target.
Changes include:
* The ICMP decoders have been rewritten.
* (This is a summary of recent changes -- not all mine)
* Fixed stream4 offset initialization
* Double Open of snort log file
* Lots of new rules
* Fatal error on problems other than -> and <>
* Fixed stream4 several low memory conditions
* Error checking in stream4/frag2 argument parsing
* snort-db schema updates to 1.05
* --with-pcap-includes should now look at specified pcap
* packet statistics now should be more accurate with regards to lost
frags
* double PID file write
* S4 alignment problems on SPARC fixed ( rpc_decode still has SPARC
alignment errors )
* new snmptrap code
* documentation updates
* Stability fixes in frag2
* SEQ / ACK checking should be correct
* Reassembled packets with stream4 will now also be inspected when
using -z est
* ip fragments are now calculated correctly
* rule headers correctly matched
( multiple CIDR performance greatly increased )
