In debug validation mode, it is required to call application layer
parsing and other functions with a lock on flow. This patch updates
the code to do so.
sigs(priority wise) inside staging.
Previously we would assign signums before sig ordering, and hence the
order didn't actually reflect the order of the sig in the
sig_list(assuming sig reordering changed the sig_list). Staging would
use the old sig_nums to decide the priority of sigs.
2. Fix sig ordering for flowvar, flowbits, flowint, pktvar sigs. We have
introduced a new priority to treat sigs with set + read as lower
priority compared to set only sigs.
3. Previously we treated sigs with a "priority(keyword)" > another sig's
priority, as a sig with greater priority than the later. We have
reversed it. Now the sig priority ordering is 1,2,.etc. Updated
sigordering unittests to reflect the same.
Improved accuracy, improved performance. Performance improvement
noticeable with http heavy traffic and ruleset.
A lot of other cosmetic changes carried out as well. Wrappers introduced
for a lot of app layer functions.
Failing dce unittests disabled. Will be reintroduced in the updated dce
engine.
Cross transaction matching taken care of. FPs emanating from these
matches have now disappeared. Double inspection of transactions taken
care of as well.
Bug #802
Flowvars are set from pcre, and lock the flow when being set. However
when HTTP buffers were inspected, flow was already locked: deadlock.
This patch introduces a post-match list in the detection engine thread
ctx, where store candidates are kept. Then a post-match function is used
to finalize the storing if the rule matches.
Solves the deadlock and brings the handling of flowvars more in line
with flowbits and flowints.
Previously we would have forced all users to use nocase with http_host
keywords(since the hostname buffer is lowercase).
We now error out on sigs that has nocase set with http_host set. Also if
the http_host pattern or http_host pcre has an uppercase character set, we
invalidate such sigs. Unittests also updated to reflect the above change.
The output of the list-keyword is modified to include the url to
the keyword documentation when this is available. All documented
keywords should have their link set.
list-keyword can be used with an optional value:
no option or short: display list of keywords
csv: display a csv output on info an all keywords
all: display a human readable output of keywords info
$KWD: display the info about one keyword.
When handling error case on SCMallog, SCCalloc or SCStrdup
we are in an unlikely case. This patch adds the unlikely()
expression to indicate this to gcc.
This patch has been obtained via coccinelle. The transformation
is the following:
@istested@
identifier x;
statement S1;
identifier func =~ "(SCMalloc|SCStrdup|SCCalloc)";
@@
x = func(...)
... when != x
- if (x == NULL) S1
+ if (unlikely(x == NULL)) S1
The http_server_body content modifier modifies the previous content to inspect
the normalized (dechunked, unzipped) http_server_body. The workings are similar
to http_client_body. Additionally, a new pcre flag was introduced "/S".
To facilitate this change the signature flags field was changed to be 64 bit.
In some cases AppLayerTransactionGetInspectId can return -1, which is
now handled by all it's callers.
Improve logic of selecting which transactions are inspected by the various
HTTP keywords.
Introduce a separate FlowAddress structure for holding the ipv4 or ipv6 address
that doesn't have the family in it like the Address structure. Instead, the
family is stored in the flow as a flag: FLOW_IPV4 and FLOW_IPV6.
Add macro's to check the family, copy the address, etc.
Update many unittests to reflect these changes. Introduce unittest helper
functions for creating and initializing a flow and freeing it again.
On 64 bit this shrinks the flow with 8 bytes.
Removal of per flow 'aldata' array. It contained a ptr for each ALPROTO. Instead now we have 2 ptrs in the flow: alparser and alstate.
Various cleanups and dead code removal from the app layer API.
Should safe 100+ bytes memory per flow on 64 bit.
Updated lots of unittests to reflect these changes.
Many, many pcre: signatures specify (...) when the more efficient
(?:...) is all that is needed. This change attempts to force
PCRE_NO_AUTO_CAPTURE on all unnamed capture groups, reverting to
capturing when necessary, e.g., when \1 is referenced.
Stateful detection for app layer detection keywords, except uricontent. Stores it's partial results in the flow structure. Other modifications:
- Generalize transaction tracking, logging and inspection.
- Adapt http and dcerpc to use the new transaction handling.
- Stream engine now always notifies app layer of a stream eof.
