+  <synopsis>
+    Snort contains a vulnerability in the rule matching algorithm that could
+    result in a Denial of Service.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Randy Smith, Christian Estan and Somesh Jha discovered that the rule
+    matching algorithm of Snort can be exploited in a way known as a
+    "backtracking attack" to perform numerous time-consuming operations.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could send specially crafted network packets, which
+    would result in the cessation of the detections and the consumption of
+    the CPU resources.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Snort users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/snort-2.6.1.2"</code>
