Re: RPC Portmap Request

Okay, so you received an Impact Flag one, which tells me you are running
Sourcefire.

So, you have the Operating System in question, the port is open, the service
on the port is correct, and the service is potentially vulnerable to this
condition (the makings of an impact 1), so, this is someone external to your
network attempted to connect to the ttdbserv on port 111 on your network.

Is the external network a known IP?  Is that IP authorized to connect to the
destination IP (HOME_NET) in question?  Or is it a random connection out
there on the internet?

Do you have a business need to have port 111 open from the internet to your
servers?  I'd probably start by blocking the ports.

Hi,

A few days ago, I received two Impact Flag 1 event alerts triggered by this
rule

Rule : alert udp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 111 (msg:"RPC portmap

reference:url,www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-05.html;
classtype:rpc-portmap-decode; sid:588; rev:20; )

Only two events were triggered, which made it suspicious. If it's an
important service in the network, then a lot of events should have been
triggered. Is it normal for this portmap request to happen?

Thanks in advance.
