Good afternoon, snorters!

The Snort Team is proud to officially release Snort v2.1.2. This is a bugfix release, and so it is recommended that users upgrade to this new release.

Fixes highlighted for this release are as follows:

• Fixed conversation parsing faults so users can operate this preprocessor
• Detect non-rfc standard chunk encodings (thanks, H.D. Moore <hdm@digitaloffense.net>)
• Detect abnormal HTTP requests with newlines, spaces, etc. before the request method (thanks, Kanatoko <anvil@jumperz.net>).
• Fix invalid ptr reference that occurred on Fedora. This should also help reduce any false positive 'U Decoding' alerts. (thanks, Owen Crow <Owen_Crow@bmc.com>)
• Fix possible condition where request pipeline URL gets inspected, but the rest of a packet doesn't.
• Fix negative stats output on snort exit or SIGUSR1. (thanks, Owen Crow <Owen_Crow@bmc.com> and others)

Thanks to the community for your continued input and comments, as always, it is much appreciated!

Happy Snorting,
The Snort Team
