CVE-2017-6658

Cisco Sourcefire Snort 3.0 before build 233 has a Buffer Overread related to use of a decoder array. The size was off by one making it possible to read past the end of the array with an ether type of 0xFFFF. Increasing the array size solves this...

CVE-2017-6657

Cisco Sourcefire Snort 3.0 before build 233 mishandles Ether Type Validation. Since valid ether type and IP protocol numbers do not overlap, Snort++ stores all protocol decoders in a single array.
