Snort-inline

[Federico Petronio <fpetronio () petrus agro uba ar>]

I have snort-inline 2.0.1 installed. I change the rule 2077 acction to drop.

Then I try to access, using Mozilla 1.5 and IE6.0, the URL:
http://server_name/admin/fileman/upload.php?dir=

the snort-inline log start showing lines like this:

[**] [1:2077:2] WEB-PHP Mambo upload.php access [**]
[Classification: access to a potentially vulnerable web application] 
[Priority: 2]
01/13-18:31:06.944124 200.43.81.205:1586 -> 10.2.0.10:80 TCP TTL:117

***AP*** Seq: 0x45A19C2C Ack: 0x425899A4 Win: 0xFFFF TcpLen: 20
[Xref => http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6572]


but after 5 minutes of that, the webserver finally got the query and 
answed. That means that snort-inline let pass through the packet that 
should drop. Can anyone check that? I try several time and got the same 
result.
