Netfilter String Match 64-bit Bugfix
29 March, 2006
The 2.6.16.6
release of the Linux kernel fixes a bug in the
"textsearch" (linux/lib/textsearch.c) portion of the kernel when running on 64-bit
processors, compliments of Pablo Neira Ayuso. The Netfilter string match extension
depends on the textsearch infrastructure, so if you are running
fwsnort on a 64-bit processsor then you will
need to upgrade to at least the 2.6.16.6 kernel.
