1) Message boards : BOINC client : Sonicwall Vulnerability Alert on BOINC traffic (Message 68085) Posted 2 Mar 2016 by Shane Feek Post: I simply added an exception rule in the Intrusion Prevention Service and after a retry, the file uploaded properly. If other users of Sonicwall Appliances have this false positive and file blockage, that is the solution. I hope this can help other users!

2) Message boards : BOINC client : Sonicwall Vulnerability Alert on BOINC traffic (Message 68062) Posted 1 Mar 2016 by Shane Feek Post: Recently our Sonicwall Firewall Appliance began flagging BOINC client communications with the following message: 03/01/2016 04:40:05 - 609 - Security Services - Alert - 208.68.240.119, 80, X1 - 10.10.1.100, 52637, X0 - IPS Prevention Alert: WEB-CLIENT Microsoft AntiXSS Information Disclosure (MS12-007), SID: 3357, Priority: Medium This email was generated by: SonicOS Enhanced 5.9.0.4-127o (0017-C5C2-0B28) Has there been a recent change to the client that has a vulnerability? Should I just allow the traffic? As far as I can see the BOINC client is still able to complete it's communication and I am still getting credit for jobs. Looks like it does this when downloading from SETI@home The file in question is: 11oc10ad.146832.18881.10.37.86
