When I attempt to download the following xz file, my IPS blocks it with the below populating the snort log. I suspect this is a false positive unless there is some code in the xz file that is truly malicious. Can someone with more knowledge about the rule please comment? Link to file that triggers the match: http://fl.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/extra/qt5-base-5.15.15%2Bkde%2Br136-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz Entry from snort log: 10/28-11:18:15.126950 [drop] [**] [1:38124:4] "FILE-MULTIMEDIA Microsoft Windows Transport Stream Program Map Table Heap overflow attempt" [**] [Classification: Attempted User Privilege Gain] [Priority: 1] {TCP} 209.222.17.72:80 -> 10.9.8.108:50162 10/28-11:18:15.470727 [drop] [**] [1:649:15] "INDICATOR-SHELLCODE x86 setgid 0" [**] [Classification: A system call was detected] [Priority: 2] {TCP} 209.222.17.72:80 -> 10.9.8.108:50162 10/28-11:18:15.497146 [drop] [**] [1:649:15] "INDICATOR-SHELLCODE x86 setgid 0" [**] [Classification: A system call was detected] [Priority: 2] {TCP} 209.222.17.72:80 -> 10.9.8.108:50162 10/28-11:18:15.525330 [drop] [**] [1:649:15] "INDICATOR-SHELLCODE x86 setgid 0" [**] [Classification: A system call was detected] [Priority: 2] {TCP} 209.222.17.72:80 -> 10.9.8.108:50162 ... note there are totally 20 entries _______________________________________________ Snort-sigs mailing list Snort-sigs () lists snort org https://lists.snort.org/mailman/listinfo/snort-sigs Please visit http://blog.snort.org for the latest news about Snort!
