This is a new custom signature entry for the recent SysV /bin/login Buffer Overflow referenced in CERT Advisory CA-2001-34. This signature is provided as a supplement to S13 signatures 3403 and 3501 to better detect any attacks. It will be incorporated into a future signature update. Listed below is a sample screenshot of the output of the SigWizMenu tool. Please refer to the sensor Release Notes for instructions on how to use the SigWizMenu tool to add a custom signature.

How should we manage custom signatures over the long term? Are they added to subsequent signature releases? If so, should we then go back and remove the custom ones at some point?

All custom signatures are included in later releases. Once a signature update is release, all prior custom signatures should be covered in the release. The custom signature releases are used only for signatures that have serious 0-day implications and cannot wait for the usual two week release. Those signatures then make it into the next signature update.
