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)

Paul

I had the same problem.
Add the next line to your $FWDIR/lib/fwui_head.def file:
#define ALLOW_NON_SYN_RULEBASE_MATCH
(or delete the /* and */ and the beginning and end of the line.


This is when I assume you're using version 4.1 SP2.
See also Phoneboy for more details.
