Hi all, I have been recieving some IPS attacks from the internal zone, and some of these attacks are repetitive, for example this one:
HTTP.Server.Authorization.Buffer.Overflow (http://www.fortinet.com/ids/VID12351)
I don't have full access to the source (linux host) of the attack. Only ssh access. It fisically very far away
Here is the RAW log:
date=2017-08-08 time=17:51:56 devname=FGT300D devid= logid=0419016384 type=utm subtype=ips eventtype=signature level=alert vd="root" severity=critical srcip=1.1.1.1 dstip=2.2.2.2 srcintf="port3" dstintf="port4" policyid=5 sessionid=327875167 action=detected proto=6 service=tcp/20480 attack="HTTP.Server.Authorization.Buffer.Overflow" srcport=43080 dstport=80 direction=outgoing attackid=12351 profile="default" ref="http://www.fortinet.com/ids/VID12351" incidentserialno=1687848714 msg="web_server: HTTP.Server.Authorization.Buffer.Overflow," crscore=50 crlevel=critical
Can you help diagnose this? how i know if is a false/positive?
Thanks!

Hello condor,
Can you do a packet capture on the port3 interface, filtering the ip 1.1.1.1? If it is a recurring attack, do you think you can get the capture. The signature was recently updated in IPS Definition 11.198. Are you using the latest definition? If possible, can you send me the pcap at my email hmtay@fortinet.com? Thanks.
