[Snort-devel] Bug in parser.c => SEGFAULT

Hi,

I justed stumbled into an obvious bug in parser.c, which is still present in release 2.0.2.

parser.c, line 1822 (in 2.0.2) :

    if(func == NULL)
    {

        FatalError("%s(%d) => Unknown rule type (%s)\n", file_name, file_line, func);

    }

As func equals NULL, a SEGFAULT will be generated. Snort is bailing out anyhow, but the real reason is "masked" by the SEGFAULT.

regards,

Bart Haagdorens.
