|
| 20 |
"Remote attackers may exploit the buffer overflow condition to run |
| 21 |
arbitrary code on a Snort sensor with the privileges of the Snort IDS |
| 22 |
process, which typically runs as the superuser. The vulnerable |
| 23 |
preprocessor is enabled by default. It is not necessary to establish |
| 24 |
an actual connection to a RPC portmapper service to exploit this |
| 25 |
vulnerability." |
