Sorry, if I miss the point, but if there is an advisory against using the version of snort oficially released with woody, shouldn't there also be a backport of the security-patch available on security.debian.org? To my understanding you surely find outdated packages in woody (chkrootkit, for example), but never, ever there are packages with known security risks in it.
