Messages 500001 to 504002

This chapter includes messages from 500001 to 504002.

500001

Error Message %ASA-5-500001: ActiveX content in java script is modified: src src ip dest dest ip on interface interface name

500002

Error Message %ASA-5-500002: Java content in java script is modified: src src ip dest dest ip on interface interface name

Explanation Ensure the blocking of Java/ActiveX content present in Java script when the policy (filter Java (or) filter ActiveX) is enabled on the ASA.

Recommended Action None required.

500003

Error Message %ASA-5-500003: Bad TCP hdr length (hdrlen=bytes , pktlen=bytes ) from source_address /source_port to dest_address /dest_port , flags: tcp_flags , on interface interface_name

Explanation A header length in TCP was incorrect. Some operating systems do not handle TCP resets (RSTs) correctly when responding to a connection request to a disabled socket. If a client tries to connect to an FTP server outside the ASA and the FTP server is not listening, then it sends an RST. Some operating systems send incorrect TCP header lengths, which causes this problem. UDP uses ICMP port unreachable messages.

The TCP header length may indicate that it is larger than the packet length, which results in a negative number of bytes being transferred. A negative number appears by a message as an unsigned number, which makes it appear much larger than it would be normally; for example, it may show 4 GB transferred in one second. This message should occur infrequently.

Recommended Action None required.

500004

Error Message %ASA-4-500004: Invalid transport field for protocol=protocol , from source_address /source_port to dest_address /dest_port

Recommended Action Review the class-map, policy-map, service-policy, and/or filter command configurations that are causing the referenced inspection and/or filter features that are matched for the connection. The rules for inspection and filter feature combinations for a connection are as follows:

    • The inspect http [http-policy-map] and/or filter url and/or filter java and/or filter activex commands are valid.
    • The inspect ftp [ftp-policy-map] and/or filter ftp commands are valid.
    • The filter https command with any other inspect command or filter command is not valid.

Besides these listed combinations, any other inspection and/or filter feature combinations are not valid.
