stream.inline YAML configuration variable now support the 'auto' value.
In this case, inline mode is activated for IPS running mode (NFQ and
IPFW) and is deactivated for IDS mode. This patch should fix bug #592.
If no packet arrives to a capture thread, it is possible that the
AFPReadLoop() function goes into an infinite loop. This could cause
suricata to hang at exit on non busy system.
This patch adds a counter to detect when Suricata start looping in
the ring to stop when it reaches this point.
Set event on overlapping data segments that have different data.
Add stream-events option stream-event:reassembly_overlap_different_data and
add an example rule.
Issue 603.
It violates thread safety. #601.
Suricata assures thread safety on the flow level for HTTP tracking. Part of the flow is (in case of HTTP) libhtp's htp_connp_t state. At startup the libhtp glue layer, app-layer-htp initializes as many htp_cfg_t instances as there are libhtp server configurations in the yaml. At HTTP session start, we look up the proper htp_cfg_t based on the server ip and pass it to htp_connp_create. A ptr to the relevant htp_cfg_t is part of the htp_connp_t. The htp_cfg_t contains "hooks". The are registered based on yaml config at init time.
The hooks have lists of type list_t. The list is run with a built in iterator. The iterator is reset at the start of each "hook_run_all". Since multiple flows share the same htp_cfg_t flow A can reset the iterator while flow B is using it. The flow lock has no effect as flows share the htp_cfg_t.
This has been observed in real traffic. hook_response_body_data was run on the same data multiple times, leading to corrupt extracted files.
This patch adds a call to close the queue when the acquisition
loop is ending. This way the incoming packets will be accepted
during all the shutdown phase (if the queue-bypass option of
NFQUEUE is used). At the same time the currently processed packets
will be dropped but the time scale are different: suricata will
drop 20 ms of packets and the shutdown can take 0.5 seconds.
Patch based on an idea of Victor Julien.
