Faulty IPS pattern blocks all traffic

We have tested that the new IPS patterns on the Up2Date server are fixed and working.

If your system is affected there are two ways to get the updated and fixed patterns:

  1. WebAdmin (the preferred way)
  • login to WebAdmin via https://YOUR_ASG_IP:4444
    (If you are unable to login to the firewall, make sure you are using a locally authenticated account, such as the default admin account)
  • go to left menu item "Network Security"
  • go to sub menu item "Intrusion Prevention"
  • disable the IPS system (if not already done)

  • go to the last tab "Advanced"
  • click on the green "+" sign under "Modified rules"
  • enter under "Rule ID": 15851 and check "Disable this rule"
  • click "Save"
  • click again on the green "+" sign under "Modified rules"
  • enter under "Rule ID": 16576 and check "Disable this rule"
  • click "Save"

  • go back to the first tab and activate the IPS system again
    This will fix the problem and install the new IPS pattern.
  1. Command line (only for experienced users)
  • login via SSH or local on console
  • become "root"
    & enter "echo 1 > /proc/net/nf_condition/ips"

That's all and will do the following:

  • it will bypass completely the IPS system on lowest level (ASG is online then), independent if IPS is activated or deactivated on WebAdmin
  • the new IPS pattern will be fetched and installed
  • the next IPS pattern update we will provide later today will remove this bypass automatically and the ASG works like configured (with new pattern)

If your ASG uses ACC as an Up2Date cache: do the same above for these ASGs if there are affected. There is no todo on ACC.
