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 updates the NT status code definition to use the status
definition used on Microsoft documentation website. A first python
script is building JSON object with code definition.
```
import json
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
ntstatus = requests.get('https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-erref/596a1078-e883-4972-9bbc-49e60bebca55')
ntstatus_parsed = BeautifulSoup(ntstatus.text, 'html.parser')
ntstatus_parsed = ntstatus_parsed.find('tbody')
ntstatus_dict = {}
for item in ntstatus_parsed.find_all('tr'):
cell = item.find_all('td')
if len(cell) == 0:
continue
code = cell[0].find_all('p')
description_ps = cell[1].find_all('p')
description_list = []
if len(description_ps):
for desc in description_ps:
if not desc.string is None:
description_list.append(desc.string.replace('\n ', ''))
else:
description_list = ['Description not available']
if not code[0].string.lower() in ntstatus_dict:
ntstatus_dict[code[0].string.lower()] = {"text": code[1].string, "desc": ' '.join(description_list)}
print(json.dumps(ntstatus_dict))
```
The second one is generating the code that is ready to be inserted into the
source file:
```
import json
ntstatus_file = open('ntstatus.json', 'r')
ntstatus = json.loads(ntstatus_file.read())
declaration_format = 'pub const SMB_NT%s:%su32 = %s;\n'
resolution_format = ' SMB_NT%s%s=> "%s",\n'
declaration = ""
resolution = ""
text_max = len(max([ntstatus[x]['text'] for x in ntstatus.keys()], key=len))
for code in ntstatus.keys():
text = ntstatus[code]['text']
text_spaces = ' ' * (4 + text_max - len(text))
declaration += declaration_format % (text, text_spaces, code)
resolution += resolution_format % (text, text_spaces, text)
print(declaration)
print('\n')
print('''
pub fn smb_ntstatus_string(c: u32) -> String {
match c {
''')
print(resolution)
print('''
_ => { return (c).to_string(); },
}.to_string()
}
''')
```
Bug #5412.
This describes briefly what the exception policies are, what is the
engine's behavior, what options are available and to which parts are
they implemented.
Task #5475
Task #5515
Some of these were recently introduced, some were highlited after the
applayer sections got merged. Some paragraphs seem to have been changed
due to trying to respect character limits for lines. Also includes a
typo pointed out by one of our community members via Discord.
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
We had two sections under the suricata.yaml configuration section
describing settings for application layer parsers. This merges them into
one and also fixes a few subsection title levels.
Task #5364
sphinx-build 5.1.1 and above throws a warning which is treated as an
error while building.
Invalid configuration value found: 'language = None'. Update your configuration to a valid language code. Falling back to 'en' (English).
While Suri will throw an error if two signatures have the same `sid`
and no `gid`, or same `sid` and same `gid`, it will just accept same
`sid` for different `gid`s.
