Adds a framework for setting exception policies. These would be called
when the engine reaches some kind of exception condition, like hitting
a memcap or some traffic processing error.
The policy gives control over what should happen next: drop the packet,
drop the packet and flow, bypass, etc.
Implements the policy for:
stream: If stream session or reassembly memcaps are hit call the
memcap policy on the packet and flow.
flow: Apply policy when memcap is reached and no flow could be
freed up.
defrag: Apply policy when no tracker could be picked up.
app-layer: Apply ppolicy if a parser reaches an error state.
All options default to 'ignore', which means the default behavior
is unchanged.
Adds commandline options: add simulation options for exceptions. These
are only exposed if compiled with `--enable-debug`.

When a TCP session is picked up from the response the flow is
reversed by the protocol detection code.
This would lead to duplicate logging of the response. The reason this
happened was that the per stream app progress tracker was not handled
correctly by the direction reversing code. While the streams were
swapped the stream engine would continue to use a now outdated pointer
to what had become the wrong direction.
This patches fixes this by making the stream a ptr to ptr that can be
updated by the protocol detection as well.
In addition, the progress tracking was cleaned up and the GAP error
handling in this case was improved as well.
Set flags by default:
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wwrite-strings
-Wcast-align
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wformat-security
-Wno-format-nonliteral
-Wmissing-format-attribute
-funsigned-char
Fix minor compiler warnings for these new flags on gcc and clang.
This patch adds a transaction counter for application layers
supporting it. Analysis is done after the parsing by the
different application layers.
This result in new data in the stats output, that looks like:
```
"app-layer": {
"tx": {
"dns_udp": 21433,
"http": 12766,
"smtp": 0,
"dns_tcp": 0
}
},
```
The entire body of these functions are protected by ifdef PROFILING.
If the functions are inlined, then this check removes the need for the
function entirely.
Previously, the empty function was still called, even when not built
for profiling. The functions showed as being 0.25% of total CPU time
without being built for profiling.
To be able to register counters from AppLayerGetCtxThread, the
ThreadVars pointer needs to be available in it and thus in it's
callers:
- AppLayerGetCtxThread
- DecodeThreadVarsAlloc
- StreamTcpReassembleInitThreadCtx
StreamMsgs would be stored in a per thread queue before being
attached to the tcp ssn. This is unnecessary, so this patch
removes this queue and puts the smsgs into the ssn directly.
Large patch as it affects a lot of tests.
Preparation for removing flow pointer from StreamMsg. Instead of
getting the ssn indirectly through StreamMsg->flow, we pass it
directly as all callers have it already.
For AppLayerThreadCtx, AppLayerParserState, AppLayerParserThreadCtx
and AppLayerProtoDetectThreadCtx, use opaque pointers instead of
void pointers.
AppLayerParserState is declared in flow.h as it's part of the Flow
structure.
AppLayerThreadCtx is declared in decode.h, as it's part of the
DecodeThreadVars structure.
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.
Split stream reassembly in 2 parts: a part that sends ack'd data to the app
layer parsers as soon as it's available, and another part that queues up
data into larger chunks for raw inspection.
- improve locking of application layer handling, making sure that the flow cannot be freed/cleared when the detection engine is still working with it.
- add a check to the app layer detection to make sure that a match function will only inspect an app layer state if it's of the right type.
