dwal Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 It appears I am having buffer overflow problems with Web Companion v6 for Mac using FileMaker 5.0 on an Apple G4, OS 9.1. Every few hours Web Companion ceases to serve although FileMaker file sharing functions normally. Reloading FileMaker fixes the problem for few hours. I suspect it is caused by Code Red. The access log is flooded with entries as follows: 172.129.121.209 - - [07/Aug/2001:17:50:08 -0700] "GET /default.ida?XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0 078%u0000%u00=a HTTP/1.0" 404 1362. Last Thursday I talked with FileMaker and they say no one else has reported this. They asked me to send a copy of the access log and am eagerly waiting for a reply. I am surprised no one else is having this problem. Has anyone found a solution to this or seen this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 Could you try Mac OS 9.0x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwal Posted August 14, 2001 Author Share Posted August 14, 2001 Do you know if there is a problem with Mac OS 9.1 and buffer overflow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 Hi dwal, I have had the same problem with a machine I have just set up with FMPro 5 Unlimited on an OS 9.1 Mac. I have turned my logging on but the duration between my problem is about 28 hours. I will keep an eye on it. I will try OS 9.0.X and see how I go.

dwal Posted August 20, 2001 Author Share Posted August 20, 2001 Tony, OS 9.0.4 did not solve the problem. It did lengthen the time it takes for the server to fail. On Saturday I configured our firewall to block many of the code red requests to our server and this has solved the problem. Serving has functioned without problems since Saturday afternoon! Unfortunately there are so many code red infected servers to block I had to in some cases block large ranges of IP numbers and thus I have probably blocked legitimate requests of our server. I notified FileMaker of this and hope they can solve our problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
