Snort 1.6, when running in straight ASCII packet logging mode or IDS mode with straight decoded ASCII packet logging selected, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending non-IP protocols that Snort does not know about, as demonstrated by an nmap protocol scan.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Snort 1.6 in specific ASCII packet logging configurations. A remote sender could crash Snort by sending unsupported non-IP protocol traffic. The business risk is loss of intrusion detection visibility, not confirmed data compromise. The sources do not provide CVSS, a vendor fix, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running Snort 1.6 with straight ASCII or decoded ASCII packet logging enabled. Modern deployments are less likely affected, but legacy sensors, lab systems, or unmanaged monitoring hosts should be checked. Treat as a legacy exposure review item. It is not supported by current exploitation evidence, but any affected sensor could silently lose detection coverage during network activity. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Snort 1.6 sensors or archived deployments.; Check whether straight ASCII or decoded ASCII packet logging is enabled.; Follow Snort or vendor guidance for fixes or replacement..
