As noted before when we End-Of-Life'd 2.9.0.1 Shared Object rules, 2.9.0.2 rules will EOL with the next rule pack and will no longer be released. People using 2.9.0.2 should update to the newest version of Snort and Shared Object rules at 2.9.0.4.
The Shared Object rule builds for 2.8.6.1 are unaffected, however, as a reminder, support for 2.8.6.1 will end at the release of Snort 2.9.1 (+90 days), so those of you on 2.8.6.1 are encouraged to start upgrading.
Keep your eyes peeled to the blog for Snort 2.9.0.5's debut, along with accompanying Shared Object rule release shortly!
