+ <synopsis>
+ The Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor contains a buffer overflow that could result
+ in the remote execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Snort is a widely deployed intrusion detection program.

+ The Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor does not properly reassemble certain
+ types of fragmented SMB and DCE/RPC packets.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send specially crafted fragmented SMB or
+ DCE/RPC packets, without the need to finish the TCP handshake, that
+ would trigger a stack-based buffer overflow while being reassembled.
+ This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions
+ of the user running the Snort preprocessor.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Disable the DCE/RPC processor by commenting the 'preprocessor dcerpc'
+ section in /etc/snort/snort.conf .
+ </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-2.6.1.3"</code>
