Snort rule update for Jan. 13, 2022

The newest SNORTⓇ rule update from Cisco Talos is now available.

Thursday morning's rule release includes new protections against the exploitation of a Log4shell-like vulnerability recently discovered in the popular H2 Java SQL database. Although the paths to exploiting this vulnerability are similar to the recent Log4j issue, the scope of execution is less broad.

Here's a full breakdown of the rest of today's rule update:
