[Snort-announce] Snort 2.1.2 released!

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
