Source: snort
Version: 2.9.15.1-6
Severity: serious

Per https://blog.snort.org/2021/07/29150-has-reached-its-end-of-life.html
the version currently in sid is EOLed and no longer compatible with
current rule updates.

In general snort seems unsuitable for standard stable given that the
engine needs to keep up with rule sets, so if it should be included
in bookworm, it should probably get updated via -updates as we do for
clamav.

Cheers,
        Moritz
