Until now variable names, such as flowbit names, were local to a detect
engine. This made sense as they were only ever used in that context.
For the purpose of logging these names, this needs a different approach.
The loggers live outside of the detect engine. Also, in the case of
reloads and multi-tenancy, there are even multiple detect engines, so
it would be even more tricky to access them from the outside.
This patch brings a new approach. A any time, there is a single active
hash table mapping the variable names and their id's. For multiple
tenants the table is shared between tenants.
The table is set up in a 'staging' area, where locking makes sure that
multiple loading threads don't mess things up. Then when the preparing
of a detection engine is ready, but before the detect threads are made
aware of the new detect engine, the active varname hash is swapped with
the staging instance.
For this to work, all the mappings from the 'current' or active mapping
are added to the staging table.
After the threads have reloaded and the new detection engine is active,
the old table can be freed.
For multi tenancy things are similar. The staging area is used for
setting up until the new detection engines / tenants are applied to
the system.
This patch also changes the variable 'id'/'idx' field to uint32_t. Due
to data structure padding and alignment, this should have no practical
drawback while allowing for a lot more vars.
To be able to add a transaction counter we will need a ThreadVars
in the AppLayerParserParse function.
This function is massively used in unittests
and this result in an long commit.
Convert HTTP body handling to use the Streaming Buffer API. This means
the HtpBodyChunks no longer maintain their own data segments, but
instead add their data to the StreamingBuffer instance in the HtpBody
structure.
In case the HtpBodyChunk needs to access it's data it can do so still
through the Streaming Buffer API.
Updates & simplifies the various users of the reassembled bodies:
multipart parsing and the detection engine.
This commit do a find and replace of the following:
- DETECT_SM_LIST_HSBDMATCH by DETECT_SM_LIST_FILEDATA
sed -i 's/DETECT_SM_LIST_HSBDMATCH/DETECT_SM_LIST_FILEDATA/g' src/*
- HSBD by FILEDATA:
sed -i 's/HSBDMATCH/FILEDATA/g' src/*
The Match functions don't need a pointer to the SigMatch object, just the
context pointer contained inside, so pass the Context to the Match function
rather than the SigMatch object. This allows for further optimization.
Change SigMatch->ctx to have type SigMatchCtx* rather than void* for better
type checking. This requires adding type casts when using or assigning it.
The SigMatch contex should not be changed by the Match() funciton, so pass it
as a const SigMatchCtx*.
app-layer.[ch], app-layer-detect-proto.[ch] and app-layer-parser.[ch].
Things addressed in this commit:
- Brings out a proper separation between protocol detection phase and the
parser phase.
- The dns app layer now is registered such that we don't use "dnstcp" and
"dnsudp" in the rules. A user who previously wrote a rule like this -
"alert dnstcp....." or
"alert dnsudp....."
would now have to use,
alert dns (ipproto:tcp;) or
alert udp (app-layer-protocol:dns;) or
alert ip (ipproto:udp; app-layer-protocol:dns;)
The same rules extend to other another such protocol, dcerpc.
- The app layer parser api now takes in the ipproto while registering
callbacks.
- The app inspection/detection engine also takes an ipproto.
- All app layer parser functions now take direction as STREAM_TOSERVER or
STREAM_TOCLIENT, as opposed to 0 or 1, which was taken by some of the
functions.
- FlowInitialize() and FlowRecycle() now resets proto to 0. This is
needed by unittests, which would try to clean the flow, and that would
call the api, AppLayerParserCleanupParserState(), which would try to
clean the app state, but the app layer now needs an ipproto to figure
out which api to internally call to clean the state, and if the ipproto
is 0, it would return without trying to clean the state.
- A lot of unittests are now updated where if they are using a flow and
they need to use the app layer, we would set a flow ipproto.
- The "app-layer" section in the yaml conf has also been updated as well.
Remove all flags indicating the buffer type. They were only used
at parse time.
Because of this the DetectPcreData_ structure could shrink to 32
bytes.
