Changelog since current lucid version 2.8.4.1-4ubuntu1:

snort (2.8.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - Fixes CVE-2009-3641: possible DoS due to crafted IPv6 packet when
       then -v option is enabled
  * Fix src/snort.c since it is not buildable, it seems that the distributed
    source code has a bug.

snort (2.8.4.1-6) unstable; urgency=low

  * Package rebuild to fix libmysql depedency (Closes: #548831)
  * Remove use_static_footprint_sizes option from the stream5_tcp disassembler
    in etc/snort.conf as the use in production systems is actually discouraged
    [ see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=d3a3e6ac0912080843i17a0302te36548e032b4b013%40mail.gmail.com ]
  * Lintian fixes:
     - Remove dh_undocumented from debian/rules
     - Add ${misc:Depends} to all binary packages
     - Use updated debhelper version (5)
     - Update Standards-Version (3.8.3)

snort (2.8.4.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix snort-stat so that it can generate proper emails even if Classification
    is missing from the alert log, use fix suggested by Pavel Mateja.

 -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a <email address hidden> Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:43:02 +0100

 snort (2.8.4.1-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fix init.d so that if 'restart' is executed when no instance is
     running (no pidfile) it will try to start all of instances, just
     if 'start' was executed. (Closes: #540450)
   * Add information on how the init.d script works (Closes: #512810)
   * Fix name of file in README-database.Debian, remove the database
     information from the main README.Debian file.
   * Fix bug in debian/clean-sources.sh script (Closes: #547316)
   * Use a patch provided by Dave Walker <DaveWalker_AT_ubuntu.com>
     to prevent starting snort-mysql|pgsql if the database is not
configured
     yet. This bug cannot be really fixed until we use dbconfig-common
     here to ask for all the database information to the user
     through Debconf. (LP: #222091) (Closes: #545082)
