Hoewel IBM begin deze maand heeft aangegeven de verkoop van BlackICE te stoppen, een jaar nadat ze Internet Security Systems hebben overgenomen, kunnen we toch nog een nieuwe uitgave in de Meuktracker vermelden. De versie-aanduiding van de firewall is aangekomen bij 3.6.cqn en is ten opzichte van de vorige versie uitgebreid met 37 events en 4 blocking responses. De nieuwe uitgave is zoals gewoonlijk in twee smaken verkrijgbaar, namelijk BlackICE PC Protection en BlackICE Server Protection.
Het pakket is een veelzijdige firewall met een volledige intrusiondetectie. Zowel de inkomende als uitgaande netwerkstromen worden gecontroleerd en bij een mogelijk vermoeden dat er iets niet klopt, wordt de beheerder gewaarschuwd en kan de verbinding gesloten worden. De lijst met aanpassingen ziet er als volgt uit:

Security Content ImprovementsBlocking was added for the following events:
- Corrected a false negative in the HTTP URL whitelist cache.
- Fixed a false positive in PE_DotNet_Loader_Exec
- Removed a false positive with HTTP_PHP_Transfer_XSS.
- Updated Event Coalescer to discriminate between IP address tuples with different 802.1QA VLAN IDs. The Event Coalescer intelligently combines events having the same characteristics, such as issueID, victim/intruder IP, and victim/intruder port into one event
- Proventia G sensors supporting advanced event reporting no longer appends 'vlan' attribute value pair (AVP) because field is sent natively to SiteProtector. Advanced event reporting contains an internal VLAN ID field.
- Fixed a false negative in MSRPC_Invalid_Request.
- Updated Event Coalescer to support VLAN ID to discriminate between duplicate IP address tuples
- Removed a false positive in SSL_Hello_Msg_DoS by completely parsing Server Key Exchanges.
- Fixed a PAM Internal Error which could occur in response to specific malformed FTP server responses.
- Corrected a false positive and a mis-report of the overflow length in Email_VCF_Overflow and Email_VCF_Mozilla_Overflow.
Blocking was removed for the following events:
- SMTP_Exchange_Verb_BO
- Oracle_AuthAlterSession_SqlExec
- IMAP_Mdaemon_Foldername_DoS
- JavaScript_XML_CoreSvc_Code_Execution
- SMTP_Exchange_Verb_DoS
