This definition is currently used in two different circumstances: Report with
accuracy that the server is an IIS (status call), and also show the amount of
loaded remote rules on the windows logs. Different from Apache which loads the
rules twice, IIS just do it once.
Resources load mechanism as the SecRemoteRuels were not showing information
about the loaded rules while Apache was reloaded. This patch add such
information to reload in the same way that it was showing on restart.
As reported by Walter Hop, the status call functionality was printing a message
in the console without the expected 'ModSecurity:' prefix. SecServerSignature
was also printing messages without the expected prefix. Both are fixed by this
commit.
As reported by Rainer Jung, Curl may not be mandatory to build
ModSecurity core. This patch make it optional by:
- Concentrate all downloads using curl on msc_remote_rules.c
- Split Curl build definitions checks into: WITH_CURL, WITH_REMOTE_RULES
and WITH_CRYPTO.
- WITH_CURL: Contains Culr headers and binaries during the build time.
- WITH_REMOTE_RULES: Currently enabled if Curl is present.
- WITH_CRYPTO: Set if apr tool was compiled with crypto support.
- Renames msc_remote_grab_content to msc_remote_download_content
On IIS CA validation was not working as libcurl on windows does not look for a
certificate store, unless it is specified. The resource downloads are now
respecting the SecRemoteRulesFailAction.
SecRemoteRules adds a new dependency to libcurl. Before only mlogc was
depending on libcurl. SecRemoteRules also depends on the apr-tools with
crypto support, which (as reported by our buildbots) is not default in
some environments such as: MacOS X. This commit disable SecRemoteRules
support if apr-tools was not compiled with crypto support.
This directive allows the user to set a default action whenever the
SecRemoteRules failed to download a set of rules. Current the supported
values are: Warn and Abort. By default `Abort' is selected.
On Apache platform the server signature can be replaced using the
SecServerSignature directive. Status call was using the signature informed by
this directive instead of using the original one. As reported at #702.
Different from the Rules or other options, the connections filters are applied
to entire server, not to a single vhost, or so. In order to keep it clear to
the user this patches adds "SecConnectionEngine" which works in the same way
that SecRuleEngine does.
The SecRuleEngine has the capability to Enable, Disable or even to place the
ModSecurity in DetectionOnly mode. The SecReadStateLimit and SecWriteStateLimit
were not honoring such state, due the fact that our configuration belongs to
requests not to connections, the only struct that exists while those filters
are placed. By adding a global variable "conn_limits_filter_state" we are now
able to identify the current state of the ModSecurity, once the configuration
is loaded this variable is set and used by the connections filters.
Used by the operator @ipMatch and variants, this structure storage all the IPs
addresses for later comparison. Last version was using RadixTree only if the
set of IPs was specified from files. IPs specified as parameters, was using
a chained list. Chained lists may affect the performance, since lookups in
worst case will be O(n). RadixTrees could provide better results depending
on the amount of elements and its contents.
The operators @ipMatch, @ipMatchF and @ipMatchFromFile were
added to the functions: SecReadStateLimit and SecReadStateLimit,
by using them it is possible to declare a suspicious list. When
a suspicious list is given, the {Read|Write}StateLimit will be
applied just to the IPs that belongs to that restricted list.
Note that the negative of those operators (e.g. !@ipMatch) can be
used to place a whitelist. The {Read|Write}StateLimit
restrictions will not be applied to those in the whitelist.
This current version the Sec{Read|Write}StateLimit can be used
varios times to add elements to both lists, however, the
last informed limit will be applied for the entire group. This
feature is experimental, and suggestions on how to improve it
are very welcome. For further discussion use the issue: #353.
In ModSecurityIIS the configuration is loaded upon the first request
is received. In other words, SecStatusEngine value can be only
loaded once the first request hit the server, and so, the status
function was moved to proceed just after the configuration got loaded.
This update is IIS only.
The Status Engine allow the measurements of how many ModSecurity
instances are running around the world, as long as information
on how many times it had been restarted and so on. Everytime that
the server is started it perform a DNS query that is redirected
to our servers, that query constains information about the
ModSecurity version and it dependencies versions. It also sends a
unique indetification generate locally for the server, avoiding
counting the same server twice while generating the statistics.
This id is a sha-1 hash of the machine name + mac address of the
first network adapter. In this commit it is enabled by default,
in the release will be a configuration option to disable this
functionality. It also important to cite that the information
gather by this query will be also available in ModSecurity website
public open via a JSON stateless API. There will be an fancy
heatmap as well.
Proxy is not yet ready for nginx. Instead of give a generic error, this patch
adds a clean message explains that such functionality is not available on the
nginx port. This patch also modifies the test cases to reflect this changes.
