Add a new configuration flag, "datasets.rules.allow-write" to control
if rules can contain "save" or "state" rules which allow write access
to the file system.
Ticket: #6123
For dataset filenames coming from rules, do not allow filenames that
are absolute or contain a directory traversal with "..". This prevents
datasets from escaping the define data-directory which may allow a bad
rule to overwrite any file that Suricata has permission to write to.
Add a new configuration option,
"datasets.rules.allow-absolute-filenames" to allow absolute filenames
in dataset rules. This will be a way to revert back to the pre 6.0.13
behavior where save/state rules could use any filename.
Ticket: #6118
To protect against possible supply chain attacks, disable Lua rules by
default. They can be enabled under the "security" section of
suricata.yaml.
Ticket: #6122
For the rules profiling, we really want to limit the performance
impact to the maximum. So let's use an hash size that is a power
of 2. This will allow to not use the modulo operation that is
costly and simply use a single binary operator.
This code is only active for rules profiling so we are backward
compatible.
As flow.memcap-policy and defrag.memcap-policy do not support flow
actions, clarify that in the documentation. Also fix some typos, and
add missing values in some places where the exception policies were
explained.

Bug #5940
Adds a new field, "suricata-version" to the configuration file with
the major and minor version of the Suricata that generated the
configuration file.
This may be useful in the future for presenting warnings about
important changes, or even providing different defaults based on what
the user might expect.
Ticket: 5822
Linux is slightly more permissive wrt timestamps than many
other OS'. To avoid many events/issues with linux hosts, add an
option to allow for this slightly more permissive behavior.
Ideally the host-os config would be used, but in practice this
setting is rarely set up correctly, if at all.
This option is enabled by default.
Debug facility to get a per packet view into the stream engine's state.
Logs after a packet has been processed in the stream engine, so the view
into the state includes the updates based on the current packet.
Marked as experimental so it can be changed w/o notice.
Bug: #5876.
This allows ftp-data and ftp flows to be processed by the same
thread. Otherwise, there may be a concurrency issue where the
would-be ftp-data flow is first processed, and thus not recognized
as such. And the ftp flow gets processed later and the expectation
coming from it is never found.
To do so, the flow hash gets used as usual, except for flows that
may be either ftp or ftp-data, that is either one port is 21, or
both ports are high ones.
Ticket: #5205
This allows all traffic Exception Policies to be set from one
configuration point. All exception policy options are available in IPS
mode. Bypass, pass and auto (disabled) are also available in iDS mode
Exception Policies set up individually will overwrite this setup for the
given traffic exception.
Task #5219
Issue: 2497
This changeset provides subsystem and module identifiers in the log when
the log format string contains "%S". By convention, the log format
surrounds "%S" with brackets.
The subsystem name is generally the same as the thread name. The module
name is derived from the source code module name and usually consists of
the first one or 2 segments of the name using the dash character as the
segment delimiter.
AF_XDP support is a recent technology introduced that aims at improving
capture performance. With this update, Suricata now provides a new
capture source 'af-xdp' that attaches an eBPF program to the network
interface card. Packets received in the NIC queue are forwarded to
a RX ring in user-space, bypassing the Linux network stack.
Note, there is a configuration option (force-xdp-mode) that forces the
packet through the normal Linux network stack.
libxdp and libbpf is required for this feature and is compile time
configured.
This capture source operates on single and multi-queue NIC's via
suricata.yaml. Here, various features can be enabled, disabled
or edited as required by the use case.
This feature currently only supports receiving packets via AF_XDP,
no TX support has been developed.
Ticket: https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/3306
Additional reading:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/af_xdp.html
with setrlimit NPROC.
So that, if Suricata wants to execve or such to create a new process
the OS will forbid it so that RCE exploits are more painful to write.
Ticket: #5373
This patch is adding support for Landlock, a Linux
Security Module available since Linux 5.13.
The concept is to prevent any file operation on directories where
Suricata is not supposed to access.
Landlock support is built by default if the header is present. The
feature is disabled by default and need to be activated in the YAML
to be active.
Landlock documentation: https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/landlock.html
Feature: #5479
This enables the usage of 'reject' as an exception policy. As for both
IPS and IDS modes the intended result of sending a reject packet is to
reject the related flow, this will effectively mean setting the reject
action to the packet that triggered the exception condition, and then
dropping the associated flow.
Task #5503
Add a line to the configuration that says which version generated the
configuration file. For example:
# This configuration generated by:
# Suricata 7.0.0-dev
Issue: #4784
The maximum of possible alerts triggered by a unique packet was
hardcoded to 15. With usage of 'noalert' rules, that limit could be
reached somewhat easily. Make that configurable via suricata.yaml.
Conf Bug#4941
Task #4207
max-streams and max-table-size
Allows users to find balance between completeness of decoding
and increases resource consumption, which can DOS suricata.
Parse extract-url-schemes from the mime config.
e.g. 'extract-urls-schemes: [http, https, ftp, mailto]'
Update MimeDecConfig struct to new url extraction fields.
Change app-layer-smtp.c & util-decode-mime.c to initialize new struct
fields for MimeDecConfig.
Sets the default value for extract-url-schemes if not found in the
config to 'extract-urls-schemes: [http]' for backwards compatibility.
Uses the schemes defined in the mime config value for
extract-urls-schemes to search for URLS starting with those scheme
names followed by "://".
Logs the URLS with the scheme + '://' at the start if the
log-url-scheme is set in the mime config, otherwise the old behaviour
is reverted to and the urls are logged with the schemes stripped.
Removed unused constant URL_STR now that URLS are being searched for
using extract-urls-schemes mime config values instead of just URL's
starting with 'http://'.
Added commented out new options for extract-urls-schemes and
log-url-scheme to suricata.yaml.in.
Update FindUrlStrings comments.
Remove old outdated comments/commented code from FindUrlStrings.
Update test case for mime which now needs schemes list to be set.
Add Test Cases for FindUrlStrings() method.
