Re: [FW1] unknown established TCP packet




>From the 'release notes' for SP2

Feature Enhancements
Managing TCP SYN Packets
With this service pack, only TCP SYN (TCP connection initiation) packets
are allowed to be matched to the
rule base. Non-SYN connections that do not belong to any known connection
are dropped. This change
eliminates some cases where packets failed to undergo correct network
address translation.
This change causes the following side effects:
n It blocks the traffic on any connections which have been inactive for a
longer period than the TCP
timeout. The change only affects the TCP traffic.
n All TCP connections established before starting the FireWall will be
blocked.
n All TCP connections established before installing the first Security
Policy after the upgrade from 4.1
FCS to 4.1 SP2 will be blocked.
TCP connections blocked as a result of this change will be logged as
unknown established TCP packets. To
disable logging of this event, do the following:
1 On the Management Module, open the file $FWDIR/lib/fwui_head.def.
2 Uncomment the line
#define NON_SYN_RULEBASE_MATCH_LOG
The above side effects do not affect TCP connections between the
VPN/FireWall Module and the VPN-1/
FireWall-1 Management Station.
To disable the change, do the following:
1 On the Management Module, open the file $FWDIR/lib/fwui_head.def
2 Uncomment the line:
/*#define ALLOW_NON_SYN_RULEBASE_MATCH */
3 Install the policy.

Most of the changes in SP2 were made as a result of a test somebody ran
against FW-1 to break it - they succeeded (if somebody has this link please
re-post it - I lost it)

Hey List,


have a problem by getting the Error Message in the Log:

Action: drop Rule:0 Info: reason: unknown established TCP packet

the problem is, I updated from CP FW-1 4.1 SP1 to CP FW-1 4.1 SP2 on the
31 Oktober, so i can't believe, that this connection was established before
updateing from SP1 --> SP2 ..... also my rulebase is already installed for
5
days so this schould also not be the problem ?

does anyone know what the problem could be?

Running on redundant NOKIA IP440 IPSO 3.2.1 via VRRP with NT Management

thanks in advance

Oliver
