--

Summary:
This event is generated when a host generates and ICMP Bad SPI datagram.

--

Impact:
ICMP Type 40 Code 0 datagrams are an indication that a received datagram has an invalid SPI that is invalid or has expired.  Normally this is an indication that hosts using IP Security Protocols such as AH or ESP have been configured incorrectly or are failing to establish a session with another host.

--

Detailed Information:
Hosts using IP Security Protocols such as AH or ESP generate ICMP Type 40 datagrams when a failure condition occurs.  ICMP Type 40 Code 0 datagrams are generated when a received datagram includes a SPI (Security Parameters Index) that is invalid or has expired.

--

Attack Scenarios:
None known

--

Ease of Attack:
Numerous tools and scripts can generate this type of ICMP datagram.

--

False Positives:
None known

--

False Negatives:
None known

--

Corrective Action:
ICMP Type 40 datagrams not normally seen on the network.  Currently Sourcefire is unaware of any hardware that has implemented these types of ICMP datagrams.  Hosts generating these types of ICMP datagrams should be investigated for nefarious activity or configuration errors.
