how do i prevent/block these 2 clients from doing the traceroute/icmp "attacks" ?
i have already create a rule to block traceroute and icmp for these 2 clients.
its says related to CVE-1999-0525.
traceroute packet.
is it really harmless
Hi there,
According to the fortiguard/IPS, this is a low level problem. So if you've setup a rule on FGT to block these 2 PCs traceroute, then this information gathering stopped. If this problem happens constantly, for the root cause, you probably need to dig into these two windows to find out which process/daemon or even malware is sending out this probe. Suggest to download a forticlient to scan the entire computer to see if anything wrong.
Thanks
