14 DAY TRIAL // Suricata, a high-performance Network IDS, IPS, and Network Security Monitoring engine that is open source and owned by a community-run non-profit organization – the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF) –, is now at version 2.0.3.
According to the developer, Suricata 2.0.3 fixes quite a few problems and it's been in the making for quite some time.
“The OISF development team is proud to announce Suricata 2.0.3. This release fixes a number of issues in the 2.0 series. Most importantly, this release addresses a number of IPv6 issues that can lead to evasion. Bugs discovered by Rafael Schaefer working with ERNW GmbH,” reads the official announcement.
According to the changelog, a potential crash in http parsing has been fixed, an ipv6 defrag issue has been corrected, a possible evasion in stream-tcp-reassemble.c has been fixed, the lowercase conversion table is no longer missing the last value, and libhtp has been updated to version 0.5.15.
A complete list of changes and new features is available in the official changelog. You can download Suricata 2.0.3 right now from Softpedia.
Suricata is developed by the OISF, its supporting vendors, and the community. This means that the developers need the active support of the latter in order to improve the software.
