Hi,
Setting the HTTP format sizes to zero / disabling them had no effect for me,
but disabling the "worm capture" feature did assist a little (on the SmartDefence errors).. However, as this issue seems to effect far too many sites & even internal services (over VPN)
I have had to revert back to HFA-04 once more.
(Plus I don't really want to run without "worm capture" &/or HTTP size checking!)

These were the three main / constant log type errors with HFA-05 installed.
Information: message_info: Illegal LF-CR combination in HTTP header (SmartDefense)

Information:  message_info: Line in HTTP request too long (Firewall-1)

Attack Name: Malformed HTTP
Information:   Attack Info: URL too long (SmartDefense)

With HFA-04, everything works as normal, and much faster too!!!

Wayne.

Try to disable "worm capture". It should be a bug of the 3.81 HFA05.

Did you try completely disabling HTTP format sizes in Smart Defense all
together, (setting them to zero), and turning off all HTTP header /
response checking, just to prove if it's that part of Smart Defense
that's causing the issue or not?

Hi,
Since applying HFA-05 to our Nokia platforms (Running IPSO 3.8.1
Build033 & NG-AI R55 for IPSO 3.8) we are experiencing lot's of
"message_info: Line in HTTP request too long" errors in the event log.
(Note: I did actually upgrade IPSO from 3.8.1 Build028 just prior the
HFA05 installation if that has any bearing)
Sample Log entry.
Number:       1384604
Date:             20Jul2005
Time:            19:44:36
Product:        VPN-1 & FireWall-1
Interface:      eth1c0
Origin:          gateway (x.x.x.x)
Type:            Log
Action:          Reject
Protocol:       tcp
Service:        http (80)
Source:         Host-PC (10.0.1.1)
Destination:  205.157.85.40
Source Port: 4440
Information:  message_info: Line in HTTP request too long

We also have numerous SPLAT boxes throughout the network (NG-AI R55 /
HFA-15) that do not have these issues (managed by the same Management
server (Windows 2000 SP4 / HFA-15)

I have amended the Smartdefence settings - Application Intelligence -
web - http protocol inspection - http format size, settings and even the
"http_max_url_length" within the global properties, all to no avail.....

Any clues / workarounds greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
    Wayne.
