CVE-2000-1226 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Snort 1.6 when configured for straight ASCII packet logging. Remote attackers can crash the Snort sensor by sending non-IP protocols that Snort does not recognize, as demonstrated by an nmap protocol scan. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0 (Medium), indicating it can be exploited remotely with low attack complexity, resulting in a partial denial of service. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there any known public exploit modules (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB).
