Suricata Intrusion Detection System Fixes Bugs
The fifth maintenance release of the stable Suricata IDS branch includes several important bug fixes. An error in the stream engine, that could lead to crashes, has been fixed. Some bugs, that have been found through the use of the Coverity static analysis tool, could be closed, too. The Suricata developers recommend to update existing installations of the IDS.
Suricata is an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System, developed by the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF) with the free GPLv2 license. Suricata can read rules of the Snort IDS and it natively supports the IPv6 protocol.
