SnortSnmp upgrade

SnortSnmp-folks,

     The upgrades for the SnortSnmp output plugin corresponding
to Snort versions 2.0.[2-5] are available from
     http://www.cysol.co.jp/contrib/snortsnmp/index.html

The changes from the previous version are
a. The code has been audited and cleaned for potential vulnerabilities.
  [replaced sprintf by snprintf, strcpy by strncpy etc.]
b. A throttling mechanism for SNMP alerts has been added. [In case there
   is a direct or indirect DoS attack on the IDS system itself. Only
   MAXALERTSINONESEC alerts per second will be generated.
   If MAXALERTSINONESEC == 0 this feature is turned off.
   MAXALERTSINONESEC is defined in src/output-plugins/spo_SnmpTrap.c.

For more details refer to

Cheers

Glenn
