Package: psad Version: 2.0.6-1 Severity: normal The recent psad upgrade decided to start blocking my AIX boxes because of their large ping size (even though the content/size was not malicious).
No problem, I thought, I'll update /etc/psad/snort_rule_dl to include SIDs 384(ping), and 499 (large packet) with danger level 0: --------------------------------------------- #384: ICMP PING 384 0; #499: ICMP Large ICMP Packet 499 0; -------------------------------------------- I then cleared the currently blocked machines and started psad Unfortunately, psad still wants to block, for the same two SIDs For the nonce, I just commented out those two rules in snort_rules/*icmp* and so far that seems to be doing the trick -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages psad depends on: ii iptables 1.3.6.0debian1-5 administration tools for packet fi ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcarp-clan-perl 5.8-1 Perl enhancement to Carp error log ii libdate-calc-perl 5.4-5 Perl library for accessing dates ii libnetwork-ipv4addr-per 0.10-1.1 The Net::IPv4Addr perl module API ii libunix-syslog-perl 0.100-5 Perl interface to the UNIX syslog( ii perl 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii sysklogd [syslogd] 1.4.1-20 System Logging Daemon ii whois 4.7.21 the GNU whois client Versions of packages psad recommends: ii bastille 1:2.1.1-13 Security hardening tool -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
