Re: FPs on 13711-13713

["Castle, Shane" <scastle () bouldercounty org>]

The problem seems to be the client port chosen by the application, which
often is 3306, and it connects to 5222 on the chat server. So, these
rules trigger on the replies from the server to the client. I did only
cursory examination of these events.

I don't see a quick way of dealing with this if an ephemeral 3306 is
chosen by the client. The rules have "flow:established,to_server"
already (so why did this trigger?). I wonder if the only way might be to
find some additional signature component that's unique to the MySQL
traffic.

wow.. really??? that would seem to indicate that they are, in the first
place, 
using the mysql TCP port of 3306 for their communications... if so, that
doesn't 
seem nice at all...

those rules check for the non-existence of several flowbits... could
that be 
part of the problem if you have the rules that set those flowbits
disabled??

i do note that those rules do set flowbit sslv2.client_hello.request but
that's 
not one of the ones being checked...
