NFSv3 progress in Suricata.
File extraction is ready and a basic logger as well. No detection yet.

Update on the the Linux UDP RCE. From what I've seen from ppl that do kernel exploiting... they can't really see a way to turn it into a useful exploit.
It looks like a vulnerability with the right scary characteristics, but practically not a major concern.
It is not (likely to be) a "one shot remote ring 0" exploit.
Just did a successful build of #suricata on PPC64el. Compiles w/o warnings and unittests pass.
Used the IBM Power Development Cloud, which gives free access for Open Source devs.
