Source: suricata
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Suricata still has some stability issues that lead to crashes, either
through glibc's heap corruption detection or through outright
segmentation faults. At least that's what I have witnessed in 2.0.0 and
2.0.1 (I haven't checked the setups I control with 2.0.2 so far.)
Having debug symbols available through a suricata-dbg pacakge would be
helpful.
I have attached a patch that adds such a package.
Cheers,
