Symptoms

BD crash or False reporting of signature ID 200023003.

Impact

Failover, traffic disturbance in the core case. False positive violation or blocking in the other scenario.

Conditions

JSON/XML/parameters traffic (should not happen with the enforce value signature).

Workaround

Removing attack signature 200023003 from the security policy stops the issue.

Fix Information

Fix a bug in the signatures engine that causes a false positive reporting of a signature. In some rare cases, this false reporting may cause a crash. A newly released attack signature update changes the signature in a way that it no longer causes the issue to happen.
