Hi All

Astaro's IPS module has started to crash, showing the following in the kernel log

Code:

2013:02:06-14:09:01 asg01 kernel: [1197473.518554] snort_inline[10674]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000f6bd97da sp 00000000ff93b6d0 error 4 in libsf_smtp_preproc.so.0.0.0[f6bd4000+10000]
rpm -qa | grep -i ips shows the following:

Code:

u2d-ips-7-304
ipset-6.0-1.1.g6186c62
ep-chroot-ipsec-8.30-7.gd7cd84f
chroot-ipsec-8.30-22.ga57c8e5

IPS logs always shows the following pattern before restarting the process:

Code:
