The frag3 preprocessor in Sourcefire Snort 2.4.3 does not properly reassemble certain fragmented packets with IP options, which allows remote attackers to evade detection of certain attacks, possibly related to IP option lengths.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a Snort IDS detection bypass, not a direct server compromise. In Sourcefire Snort 2.4.3, the frag3 preprocessor may reassemble fragmented packets with IP options incorrectly, allowing some attacks to pass without expected alerts. Exposure is limited to environments running Sourcefire Snort 2.4.3 with frag3 processing relevant traffic. The bundle does not establish broader product or version impact. Modern deployments are mainly exposed if legacy sensors remain in production or unmanaged monitoring paths. Prioritize if Snort 2.4.3 still protects critical networks. The business risk is missed detection of other attacks, especially where Snort alerts drive incident response decisions. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Snort 2.4.3 sensors and confirm whether frag3 is enabled.; Check Sourcefire or Snort vendor guidance for supported fixes or configuration changes.; Retire or upgrade unsupported legacy Snort sensors where operationally possible..
