2007-03-06 Snort Patch Available for NST 1.5.0

There is a security issue with the version of snort that shipped with the 1.5.0 release of the NST (see: http://www.snort.org/docs/advisory-2007-02-19.html). We have made a patch available (see: http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/patches/P200703061-100README.html) to update snort to version 2.6.1.3 to address this issue. Unfortunately, this patch will not work on a Live CD boot (it only applies to hard disk installations and/or NST Virtual Machine installations). You may apply the patch by hand (review the patch instructions), or you may use the "NST Patch Management" page within the NST WUI to apply the patch.
