Corelight reports:

+
Bro 2.5.5 primarily addresses security issues:
+
+
Fix array bounds checking in BinPAC: for arrays + that are fields within a record, the bounds check + was based on a pointer to the start of the record + rather than the start of the array field, potentially + resulting in a buffer over-read.
+
Fix SMTP command string comparisons: the number + of bytes compared was based on the user-supplied + string length and can lead to incorrect matches. + e.g. giving a command of "X" incorrectly matched + "X-ANONYMOUSTLS" (and an empty commands match + anything).
+
+
Address potential vectors for Denial of Service:
+
+
"Weird" events are now generally suppressed/sampled + by default according to some tunable parameters.
+
Improved handling of empty lines in several text + protocol analyzers that can cause performance issues + when seen in long sequences.
+
Add `smtp_excessive_pending_cmds' weird which + serves as a notification for when the "pending + command" queue has reached an upper limit and been + cleared to prevent one from attempting to slowly + exhaust memory.
