Snort Rule Coverage for MS08-078
Summary: Cisco Talos reported that a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer, detailed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-078, was already covered by a previously released Snort rule. That rule, identified as GID 1, SID 15126, was included in the release on 2008-12-11, and future revisions were to carry the appropriate reference information.
Why it matters: The detection was in place a week before Talos wrote about it, so the gap for defenders was not the signature but whether they had applied the 2008-12-11 rule release at all.
