Libpcap 1.5.3 has been released
A quick follow up to an earlier post I put up on the blog concerning Libpcap version 1.5.2: http://blog.snort.org/2014/01/reported-libpcap-152-issues.html
Libpcap has release 1.5.3 which appears to fix the issues caused by 1.5.2. We haven't fully tested it, but under initial assessment, it seems to clear up the issues.

A programming error in the Microsoft Windows Kernel-Mode NDProxy Driver
could lead to an escalation of privilege.
Previously released rules will detect attacks targeting this
vulnerability and have been updated with the appropriate reference
information. They are included in this release and are identified with
GID 1, 28867 through 28872.
The Sourcefire VRT has also added and modified multiple rules in the app-detect, blacklist, exploit-kit, file-office, file-pdf, malware-cnc, os-windows, protocol-dns, protocol-imap, protocol-scada, pua-p2p and web-client rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
Reported Libpcap 1.5.2 issues.
All,
Just to let you know we've been made aware of an apparent issue with Libpcap 1.5.2 on Linux. (Snort hangs upon start up.) 1.5.2 is working fine on FreeBSD in our initial testing.
Libpcap 1.4.0 is working perfectly fine and we recommend you use that until a fix is pushed into Libpcap.
