 Hi,
 I am running a new Tor router and also use Snort. I detect some SHELLCODE
 x86 setuid 0. Since it is connected to buffer-overflows, none known
 positives/negatives false alarm, and possibility for the current process
 to inherent root privileges on Solaris, Unix X86 and Linux X86 I wonder if
 it’s a real part of an attack or known false detection, i.e. something in
 the Tor protocol/binary data? Tor Wiki gives no information about problems
 with using Snort.
