CloudNGFW By Palo Alto Networks - possible internal to external port scanning

An inconsistency was detected in the sources: variants or an invalid file. Check the files and commit shown below.

Description

'Identifies a list of internal Source IPs (10.x.x.x Hosts) that have triggered 10 or more non-graceful tcp server resets from one or more Destination IPs which results in an "app = incomplete" designation. The server resets coupled with an "Incomplete" app designation can be an indication of internal to external port scanning or probing attack.
