[Bug 375719] [NEW] Please merge snort 2.7.0-26 (universe) from debian unstable (main)

[Andres E. Rodriguez Lazo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: snort

 snort (2.7.0-26) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Fix bug in snort-pgsql and snort-mysql's configuration script introduced in
     the previous upload. They were using the wrong debconf keys which made
     maintainer scripts fail. (Closes: #526915)
 .
 snort (2.7.0-25) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Use src/output-plugins/spo_database.c from the 2.8.4.1 release. This
     version includes the necessary code to configure the mysql connection so
     that it reconnects to the database in case the connection gets lost. This
     might happen if too few events are logged in Snort and the database
     connection timeouts. (Closes: #449568)
   * Copy over src/ipv6_port.h from 2.8.4.1 and include it in
     src/output-plugins/spo_database.c
   * Update Japanese translation for the templates, thanks to Hideki Yamane
     (Closes: 510704)
   * Move the code that detects if interfaces are down over to snort-pgsql and
     snort-mysql.  This way, if the interface defined is not available it will
     prompt again, raising the debconf priority (Closes: #502084)
   * Change all the config_parameters debconf input from 'medium' to 'error'
   * Change all the needs_db_config debconf questions from 'medium' to 'high'
     since users that do not see this note will end up with a non-functioning
     package.
 .
 snort (2.7.0-24) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Remove the LogMessage associated with fragmented traffic since it shows up
     even in systems that do not have ttl_limit set.
 .
 snort (2.7.0-23) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Fix error in call to LogMessage (missing parameters) which caused a segfault
     when fragmented packages were received and ttl_limit was set.  This bug was
     introduced in the patch to fix CVE-2008-1804. Urgency set to 'high' as in
     some circunstances it makes Snort fail to start on startup or die after
     working for only a few minutes. Also, this could be used as a DoS attack
     against an IDS sensor rendering it useless.(Closes: 503992)
