False positive in 2650.2 (ORACLE user name buffer overflow attempt): msg#00171security.ids.snort.sigs
Rule: ORACLE user name buffer overflow attempt -- Sid: 2650 -- By no means I would see myself as an expert on SQL*Net but I have a suspicion that 2650 has a false positive because it looks for user name header "(user=" and then for a non-presence of a double quote. My speculation is that it should be perhaps looking for a non-presence of a closing parenthesis. This is the relevant extract from a false positive: (DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=foo)(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=__jdbc__)(USER=))) I can provide a pcap if really necessary. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
