[ISSForum] Proventia G100 Firmware 1.2 related issues

Subject: [ISSForum] Proventia G100 Firmware 1.2 related issues
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 03:32:23 -0700 (PDT)
Hi,
   
  Recently we have observed a bug in ISS Proventia G series IPS with  firmware  
1.2 .
  I would like to throw light on Quarantine rules which is available with each 
and every security event signature.
   
  The problem out here is if we use quarantine option with any of the HTTP 
related security events and if  any of the Internet Expolrer client sitting 
behind the proxy server generates any of these quarantine events could lead to 
Denial of Service to the Internet for other legitimate users as Proventia G100 
with Firmware 1.2 would quarantine the source ip of the proxy server thereby 
denying the access to other users 
  for a certain pre-defined time as set in the quarantine option.
   
   
  Could any one from the ISS Forum suggest how to make better use of Quarantine 
rules with Firmware 1.2 or is this bug in Firmware 1.2 which yet not observed 
by anyone.
   
  Would appreciate some response from ISS Forum.
   
  Thanks and Regards,
   
  Santosh Krishnamurthy
