IPS alert every 5 minutes

Jan Novak

Hello,

our company is getting IPS alert every 5 minutes (it started 12.5.2020, but our mail gateway blocked delivery of alert messages). There are different source ip addresses (total 84 IP adresses from GB, USA and EU), but destination is always the same - our WSUS server.

We used Sophos Virus Removal Tool on that server and it finished OK - no threats found.

 

What could this mean? Should we be worried? What should we check?

    Hi all,

    Unfortunuatly the problem still persists at my side. This started 29-05. When synchronizing WSUS im getting the following IDP warnings every few minutes:

    2020-06-17 10:18:19 Daemon.Warning [firewall IP] device="SFW" date=2020-06-17 time=10:18:19 timezone="CEST" device_name="SG330" device_id=[device ID] log_id=020804407002 log_type="IDP" log_component="Signatures" log_subtype="Drop" priority=Warning idp_policy_id=5 fw_rule_id=57 user_name="" signature_id=39466 signature_msg="FILE-EXECUTABLE Symantec Norton Security IDSvix86 out of bounds read attempt" classification="Attempted Denial of Service" rule_priority=2 src_ip=93.184.221.240 (unresolved)  src_country_code=GBR dst_ip=[local WSUS server]  dst_country_code=R1 protocol="TCP" src_port=80 dst_port=58792 platform="Windows" category="file-executable" target="Client"

    Im getting the warnings with the following source IP's and domain names:

    • xxxx.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com)
    • xxxx.routit.net)
    • map2.hwcdn.net

    And more.

    Already updated the patterns, WSUS on Windows Server 2019, Windows updates etc.

    Has anyone already find a solution for this?
