RE: (snort_decoder): Short UDP packet, length field > payload leng

["Willy, Andrew" <AWilly () eSMIL net>]

The vendor supports medical equipment.  Seems as though the packets were
destined for their publicly addressed network, and I've seen before that
somehow UDP factors into their software VPN client intialization, so perhaps
the traffic was legitimate but somehow corrupted?

Thanks

Andrew

Does the vendor know the network impact of their product? (or any specs on 
the protocols the product uses for you to research?)
