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.
For all mpm wrapper functions, check minlen vs the input buffer to see
if we can bypass the mpm search.
Next to this, make all the function inline. Also constify the input and
do other minor cleanups.
Stream GAPs and stream reassembly depth are tracked per direction. In
many cases they will happen in one direction, but not in the other.
Example:
HTTP requests a generally smaller than responses. So on the response
side we may hit the depth limit, but not on the request side.
The asynchronious 'disruption' has a side effect in the transaction
engine. The 'progress' tracking would never mark such transactions
as complete, and thus some inspection and logging wouldn't happen
until the very last moment: when EOF's are passed around.
Especially in proxy environments with _very_ many transactions in a
single TCP connection, this could lead to serious resource issues. The
EOF handling would suddenly have to handle thousands or more
transactions. These transactions would have been stored for a long time.
This patch introduces the concept of disruption flags. Flags passed to
the tx progress logic that are and indication of disruptions in the
traffic or the traffic handling. The idea is that the progress is
marked as complete on disruption, even if a tx is not complete. This
allows the detection and logging engines to process the tx after which
it can be cleaned up.
Previously we could never be calling DetectEngineHHDGetBufferForTX
for TX N and then afterwards for TX N - 1. Due to changes in the
stateful detection code this is now possible.
This patch changes the buffer logic to take the 'inspect_id' as it's
base, instead of the first transaction that we are called with.
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.
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
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.
Now depth is kept in mind when we inspect chunks in client/server body.
This takes care of FPs originating from inspecting subsequent chunks that
match with depth, but shouldn't.
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.
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.
