Hi All,
I just added the Nimda rule as below in FW-1 NG (WinNT
sp6)
ANY --- ANY --- http->Nimda_URI --- drop
However, I can't successfully upload files to the web
server in the DMZ from my browser outside DMZ as long
as I enable this rule. (even I used {*.gif} for
PATH.... this is incredible!!). The web server
actually has one invalid IP and has NAT setting which
maps its invalid IP to a valid external IP.
Moreover, I did some experiments(change Source and
Destination, try couple of combinations) and found
that this rule causes the file-uploading problem only
when we use "ANY" for source and/or destination. If we
don't use "ANY" but just use it for network which
doesn't has NAT, it won't cause file-uploading
failures. ("ANY" always covers the network which has
NAT for sure; in my case, "ANY" covers external IPs
network which includes the web server NAT setting)
Apparently, we can't use Nimda rule without using
"ANY" since the only way to block inbound Nimda hack
from Internet is using "ANY" as "Source".
Does any of you know this bug regarding reousce URI
matching? Is it related to NAT? ( it can't work
properly with NAT. Certainly, this is just my guess)
How can we work around this problem or fix it if I'd
like to use Nimda rule in FW-1 NG?
