Re: [FW-1] Smart Defense "Small PMTU" attack



Ya,

I am also facing the same problem. I have NG-FP3 installed in my office. One
of my partners want to access a webserver in the DMZ and he is being
rejected by Smartdefense.

Some one suggested me to enable ICMP requests for Type 3 code 4...which did
not actually work.

Someone  else suggested me that I should disable Smartdefense->Small PMTU
detection ...which could be dangerous...

Still looking for a solution.

Subject: [FW-1] Smart Defense "Small PMTU" attack


I have an NG-FP1 Management Server that controls a mixture of NG-FP1 and
41-SP6 Enforcement Modules at remote locations.

Just recently, a user behind one of my 41-SP6 Enforcement Modules attempted
to access (HTTP) a Web Server behind an NG-FP3 Firewall within a separate
organization, and was stopped by their Smart Defense system - reason given
was "Small PMTU" attack.

This sounds like a "false positive" to me, but I'm curious to know if anyone
else has encountered this issue, and/or what anyone might suggest I do as a
workaround.

ps. I should mention that I have ":ipsec_dont_fragment (false)" set in
    my NG-FP1 Management Server's $FWDIR/conf/objects_5_0.C file for
    each of my remote Enforcement Modules.
