"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." |
