Change Log

Date: 12/17/2013

This Snort package update is a minor bug fix release only.  No new features are added.

Bug Fixes
--------------

1. Removed dependence on session variables in the Alias selection code associated with multi-engine configurations on the PREPROCESSORS tab.  Also changed the way the referrer was transferred to the Alias section page.  This should fix issues on some browsers returning to the original calling page.

2. Ensure reasonable defaults are set for the new SDF (Sensitive Data) preprocessor options introduced in version 3.0.0 of the package.  Formerly, if the new values were not set, Snort would error out on startup.

3. Updated the valid FTP server commands in the snort.conf file to match the latest defaults posted at Snort.org.  Also added the MFMT command as a valid FTP command per user request.


Dashboard Widget: Snort Alerts pkg v0.3.6
---------------------------------------------------------

Change Log
----------------

1. Added configuration link icon in the upper right corner of the widget window.  There is a new configurable parameter for the number of alerts to display in the window.  The default is 5, but any number greater than zero can be entered and will be remembered.

2. Changed the widget's update interval to 22 seconds.
