[Sophos Notification] Advisory: Sophos UTM - Latest IPS pattern update triggering SENSITIVE-DATA Rules

Hi Community,

Sophos is currently investigating customer reports of SENSITIVE-DATA IPS alerts after the latest IPS pattern update.

Traffic containing sensitive data being sent over plain text SMTP, HTTP, FTP-Data, IMAP, or POP3 may be incorrectly blocked by Intrusion Prevention.

The following reasons can be seen:

  • SENSITIVE-DATA Credit Card Numbers
  • SENSITIVE-DATA U.S. Social Security Numbers (with dashes)
  • SENSITIVE-DATA U.S. Social Security Numbers (w/out dashes)
  • SENSITIVE-DATA U.S. Phone Numbers
  • SENSITIVE-DATA Email Addresses

This article has been published to provide more information and the available workarounds.

Regards,

  • I think I am affected by this issue. Since the morning, my email traffic having issue in sending and receiving between the mail server and mail scanner, where Sophos UTM in between.

    25 minutes ago (now 3:40pm NZ time), I saw in the Up2Date log, there was "ipsbundle2" installed and all mail traffic back to normal.
