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.
of the archaic features we use in the app layer. We will reintroduce this
parser shortly. Also do note that keywords that rely on the ssh parser
would now be disabled.
Flow timeout code worked by luck when checking if a flow still needed
reassembly for app layer inspection or logging. It would check for a
part of raw reassembly (smsg list) to determine if detection was
needed. In this case it would also process app layer cleanup,
including logging.
Introduced AppLayerTransactionGetActive which returns the lowest tx_id
in a direction that still needs some work.
FlowForceReassemblyNeedReassmbly now uses it to determine if the
applayer still needs work.
Converted FlowForceReassemblyForHash to use the checking function
FlowForceReassemblyNeedReassmbly as well, so that checking if a flow
needs work is now unified.
When logging is disabled, the app layer would still be flagged
as logging. This caused transactions not to be freed until the
end of the flow as the logged tx id would never increment.
This fix postpones the setting of the app layer parser "logger"
flag to the point where we know the logger is enabled.
This patch is a result of applying the following coccinelle
transformation to suricata sources:
@istested@
identifier x;
statement S1;
identifier func =~ "(SCMalloc|SCStrdup|SCCalloc|SCMallocAligned|SCRealloc)";
@@
x = func(...)
... when != x
- if (x == NULL) S1
+ if (unlikely(x == NULL)) S1
We don't support jabber protocol detection atm. Disable the code check
inside suricata to check if jabber protocol detection is enabled in the
yaml file.
Also updated an error log message for app layer.
app-layer-parser.c: In function ‘AppLayerPPTestData’:
app-layer-parser.c:2525:9: error: variable ‘dir’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
int dir = 0;
^
Removed a flag parameter introuced earlier to indicate the data
that is first acceptable by the parser. We now use a differently
named parameter to carry out the same activity.
1. Proto detection
2. Parsers
For app layer protocols.
libhtp has now been moved to the section under app-layer.protocols.http,
but we still provide backward compatibility with older conf files.
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.
Also, update StateTransactionFree to take an u64 tx id, so it's
consistant with the rest of the engine.
To reflect these changes, AppLayerRegisterTransactionIdFuncs has
been renamed to AppLayerRegisterTxFreeFunc.
HTP, DNS, SMB, DCERPC parsers updated.
Per TX decoder events resulted in significant overhead to the
detection engine, as it walked all TX' all the time to check
if decoder events were available.
This commit introduces a new API call StateHasEvents, which speeds
up this process, at the expense of keeping a counter in the state.
Implement this for DNS as well.
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.
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
This patch required a evolution of Pool API as it is needed to
proceed to alloc or init separetely. The PoolInit has been changed
with a new Init function parameter.
