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.
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.
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.
All fp id assignment now happens in one go.
Also noticing a slight perf increase, probably emanating from improved cache
perf.
Removed irrelevant unittests 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.
fix invalid unittests with mixed relative and non-relative content modifiers and other issues; DetectContentParse19 still contains some failing dce_stub tests which are commented out.
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.
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.
