Snort rule blocking updates
« on: December 17, 2021, 04:04:19 PM »
Just want to share this...

I tried updating CWP Pro from within the admin panel and by command (sh /scripts/update_cwp --verbose). Both methods failed without any errors. The admin panel would remain covered by a modal with a spinner icon. The terminal window would display only the following:

Code: [Select]
[root@cwp ~]# sh /scripts/update_cwp --verbose

My CWP is behind a gateway device that utilizes Snort for IPS. I had to not only disable a particular rule but also reboot the gateway device. Simply reloading the Snort rules was not sufficient ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The rule: 21420 (https://www.snort.org/rule_docs/1-21420)

Log snippet:
Code: [Select]

Hope this may help others.

From the log snippet I posted...
Code: [Select]
