Log message:
Update to 2.7.0.1
Fixed header files to avoid conflicts with system files on BSD for
IPv6 data structures.
Added code to prevent URI-related alerts from firing when the
body is being normalized.
Make Stream5 the default stream engine.
Add alert for multiple GRE encapsulations.
Added ability for Snort to track fragmented ICMPv6 to check for the
remote BSD exploit (Bugtraq ID 22901, CVE-2007-1365).
Code cleanup, change malloc/calloc to SnortAlloc, use safer functions
SnortSnprintf, SnortStrncpy, etc.  Check pointers before use.
Additional updates for bounds checking.

And many more . . . check the ChangeLog for all the details

Log message:
Make it easier to build and install packages "unprivileged", where
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.

Log message:
Update to 2.6.1.5

Snort v2.6.1.5 includes:
* A new http_post rule keyword used to search for content in normalized
  HTTP posts
* A fix for a potential memory leak when generating HTTP Inspection events

Snort v2.6.1.4 includes detection functionality for a BSD IPv6 fragmentation
overflow, and addresses a number of potential security-related issues in
Snort as reported by customers, uncovered by internal investigations, and
through third-party code audits.

   2007-02-17 20:08:06 by Adrian Portelli | Files touched by this commit (4)
Log message:
Update to snort 2.6.1.2
2.6.1 provides new functionality including the following:

* New pattern matcher with a significantly reduced memory footprint
* Introduction of stream5 for experimental use
* Improvements to stream4, including UDP session tracking and optimizations for \ 
the reassembly buffer
* Handling for reassembly of SMB fragmented data in DCE/RPC
* An ssh preprocessor for experimental use
* Updated Snort decoder that can decode GRE encapsulated packets
* Output plugin to allow Snort to configure Aruba access control

Snort 2.6.0:
* Tcp stream properly reassembled after failed sequence check, which may lead to \ 
possible detection evasion.
* Added configurable stream flushpoints.
* Improved rpc processing.
* Improved portscan detection.
* Improved http request processing and handling of possible evasion cases.
* Improved performance monitoring.

The Snort 2.6 release also introduces the ability to use dynamic rules and \ 
dynamic preprocessors and contains further improvements to the Snort detection \ 
engine.

Remove snort-{pgsql,mysql,prelude}. The new snort package uses options.mk
to specify build options.
