Snort 2.8.5.1 Release
Summary: Cisco Talos released Snort 2.8.5.1 on October 22, 2009, a tarball that fixes three issues following the Snort 2.8.5 release. The fixes cover syslog output on Windows, a potential segfault when printing IPv6 packets with the -v option reported by Laurent Gaffie, and a segfault when additional policies were added during a configuration reload.
Key Takeaway: The post states there is nothing particularly pressing about any of these issues, yet still advises downloading and installing now - a reminder that a segfault during a configuration reload can hit the sensor you rely on to see traffic.
