A security issue has been found in snort. Cite CVE-2006-2769:

The HTTP Inspect preprocessor (http_inspect) in Snort 2.4.0 through
2.4.4 allows remote attackers to bypass "uricontent" rules via a
carriage return (\r) after the URL and before the HTTP declaration.

AFAICS this problem is also in 2.3.

A patch (for 2.4) is available at
