Interesting, I just saw this alert for the first time yesterday. When you
say it is a bad thing, you mean as in potential exploit? The were four
alerts that originated from a vendor machine that plugged into our DMZ. As
far as I can tell, there is no payload. I'm not sure what to make of it.
Thank you,
Andrew

It means that the system saw a UDP packet which indicated it's length
was greater than the actual payload. This should not happen and is
generally a bad thing.
