This adds new functions that will be called
through unix-socket and permit to update
and show memcap value.
The memcap value needs to be handled in a
thread safe way, so for this reason it is
declared as atomic var.
According to all checking memcap functions,
the size passed as argument is declared as uint64_t
except for StreamTcpReassembleCheckMemcap where it's
defined as uint32_t.
With large number of threads the default memcaps lead to pool setup
failures. Make sure these are reported properly so that the user
knows what is going on.
Bug: #2226
A parser can now set a flag that will tell the application
layer that it is capable of handling gaps. If enabled, and a
gap occurs, the app-layer needs to be prepared to accept
input that is NULL with a length, where the length is the
number of bytes lost. It is up to the app-layer to
determine if it can sync up with the input data again.
For logging streaming TCP data so far the individual segments where
used. However since the last big stream changes, the segments are
no longer the proper place for this. Segments can now have overlaps
etc.
This patch introduces a new tracker. Next to the existing 'app' and
'raw' trackers, the new tracker is 'log'. When the TCP logging is
used, a flag in the config is set and the log tracker is used to
determine how much of the stream window can be moved.
Move all GAP checks into CheckGap. Remove seg_list based check.
Also remove seg_list == NULL check to make sure the Gap check is
done on an empty list as well.
Improve next_seq < last_ack check, but add data beyond gap check.
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.
Instead of killing all reassembly instantly do things slightly more
gracefully:
1. disable app-layer reassembly immediately
2. flag raw reassembly not to accept new data
This will allow the current data to be inspected still.
After detect as run the raw reassembly will be fully disabled and
thus all reassembly will be as well.
If raw reassembly falls behind, for example because no raw mpm is
active, then we need to sync up to the app progress if that is
available, or to the generic tcp tracking otherwise.
Now that detect moves the raw progress forward, it's important
to deal with the case where detect don't consider raw inspection.
If no 'stream' rules are active, disable raw. For this the disable
raw flag is now per stream.
Implement the inline mode for raw content inspection. Packets
are leading, and when a packet's payload has been added to the
stream, the packet is inspected in the context of the stream.
Reassembly will return a buffer with the packet data with older
data in front of it and after it, if available.
At flow timeout, we no longer need to first run reassembly in
one dir, then inspection in the other. We can do both in single
packet now.
Disable pseudo packets when receiving stream end packets. Instead
call the app-layer parser in the packet direction for stream end
packets and flow end packets.
These changes in handling of those stream end packets make the
pseudo packets unnecessary.
Remove the 'StreamMsg' approach from the engine. In this approach the
stream engine would create a list of chunks for inspection by the
detection engine. There were several issues:
1. the messages had a fixed size, so blocks of data bigger than ~4k
would be cut into multiple messages
2. it lead to lots of data copying and unnecessary memory use
3. the StreamMsgs used a central pool
The Stream engine switched over to the streaming buffer API, which
means that the reassembled data is always available. This made the
StreamMsg approach even clunkier.
The new approach exposes the streaming buffer data to the detection
engine. It has to pay attention to an important issue though: packet
loss. The data may have gaps. The streaming buffer API tracks the
blocks of continuous data.
To access the data for inspection a callback approach is used. The
'StreamReassembleRaw' function is called with a callback and data.
This way it runs the MPM and individual rule inspection code. At
the end of each detection run the stream engine is notified that it
can move forward it's 'progress'.
Make stream engine use the streaming buffer API for it's data storage.
This means that the data is stored in a single reassembled sliding
buffer. The subleties of the reassembly, e.g. overlap handling, are
taken care of at segment insertion.
The TcpSegments now have a StreamingBufferSegment that contains an
offset and a length. Using this the segment data can be retrieved
per segment.
Redo segment insertion. The insertion code is moved to it's own file
and is simplified a lot.
A major difference with the previous implementation is that the segment
list now contains overlapping segments if the traffic is that way.
Previously there could be more and smaller segments in the memory list
than what was seen on the wire.
Due to the matching of in memory segments and on the wire segments,
the overlap with different data detection (potential mots attacks)
is much more accurate.
Raw and App reassembly progress is no longer tracked per segment using
flags, but there is now a progress tracker in the TcpStream for each.
When pruning we make sure we don't slide beyond in-use segments. When
both app-layer and raw inspection are beyond the start of the segment
list, the segments might not be freed even though the data in the
streaming buffer is already gone. This is caused by the 'in-use' status
that the segments can implicitly have. This patch accounts for that
when calculating the 'left_edge' of the streaming window.
Raw reassembly still sets up 'StreamMsg' objects for content
inspection. They are set up based on either the full StreamingBuffer,
or based on the StreamingBufferBlocks if there are gaps in the data.
Reworked 'stream needs work' logic. When a flow times out the flow
engine checks whether a TCP flow still needs work. The
StreamNeedsReassembly function is used to test if a stream still has
unreassembled segments or uninspected stream chunks.
This patch updates the function to consider the app and/or raw
progress. It also cleans the function up and adds more meaningful
debug messages. Finally it makes it non-inline.
Unittests have been overhauled, and partly moved into their own files.
Remove lots of dead code.
A GAP during protocol detection would lead to all reassembly
getting disabled, so also the raw reassembly. In addition, it
could prevent the opposing side from doing protocol detection.
This patch remove the 'disable reassembly' logic. Stream engine
will take the stream with GAP and app-layer will make the proto
detection as complete.
If segments section in the yaml is ommitted (default) or when the
pool size is set to 'from_mtu', the size of the pool will be MTU
minus 40. If the MTU couldn't be determined, it's assumed to be
1500, so the segment size for the bool will be 1460.
The Flow::data_al_so_far was used for tracking data already
parsed when protocol for the current direction wasn't known yet. As
this behaviour has changed the tracking can be removed.
When a segment only partially fit in streaming depth, the stream
depth reached flag was not set resulting in a continuous
inspection of the rest of the session.
By setting the stream depth reached flag when the segment partially
fit we avoid to reenter the code and we don't take anymore a code
path resulting in the flag not to be set.
