Description:
Pablo Rincón Crespo has reported a vulnerability in Snort, which can be exploited by malicious people to manipulate certain data.
The vulnerability is caused due an error in the unified output plugin when writing network data from packets reassembled by the Stream5 preprocessor. This can be exploited to corrupt unified log files and potentially insert fake alerts via specially crafted TCP packets.
The vulnerability is reported in 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.5.
