As of Automake 1.4, it starts to warning about the lack of utilization
of `subdir-objects' option, which will be default in the further
releases. Avoiding break stuff we are patching ModSecurity to support
such option when it still an option (Issue #760).
FuzzyHash operator is optional and only installed if the headers for libfuzzy
was found in the system. Otherwise, the FuzzyHash operator is disable during
the compilation. After this commit, if some rules tries to use it, ModSecurity
will produce an runtime error not a config time error, allowing the web server
to procede normal with its operations.
The fuzzyHash operator can be used to match files. In conjuntcion
with FILES_TMP_CONTENT collection it can scan uploaded files and
try to match it with a pre caculated list of know malicious content,
more details on how it works can be found on ssdeep website:
http://ssdeep.sourceforge.net/
The collection is filled with a key-value set where value is the content of
the file which was uploaded. This collection can be used with all supported
operators, however SecUploadKeepFiles should be set to 'On' in order
to have this collection filled.
The ipv4 representation was only accepting slash notation with masks
represented in 2 digits. In the ipv6 implementation several fixies were made:
The maximum value to a bitmask was 64 which is not the reality, as ipv6 can
handle 128 bits. The second change was also to enable mask representation with
more and less than 2 digits. A more general fix was added to allow the unit
tests to work even if a invalid ip/range was informed during the creation of
the "tree", now it is checking if the tree is NULL while performing the
execution of the operator. Initial problem was reported at the issue: #706.
As reported on issue #706 the @ipMatch operator is not working as expected
creating this test case to confirm the issue and to avoid that happens in
the future.
ModSecurityIIS was reporting events to Windows using ID 0
which seems cause an unexpected verbose message at the
event logger window as reported on #676, changing the ID
to 0x1, although will be nice to have separated events for
misconfiguration, warnings, etc...
Custom build stops the IIS Server before start the compilation.
After finish the compilation the ModSecurity.DLL is copied to the
inetsrv folder and the IIS is restarted.
Windows compilation was failing due to the utilization of size_t which is part
of the strings.h. strings.h was not part of windows and so the compilation
was failing. This update fix that. Issue #65 on libinjection:
https://github.com/client9/libinjection/issues/65
Apperantly forcing the charset is not placing any benefits, instead it is
cousing problems as documented on #650. This still experimental, just
testing against our regression tests. Such feature was added by the commit:
177b5b9c989b0095e5c91b01d205df64e65e6c9e.
The Sec{Read|Write}StateLimits are filters related to the connections, when the
server did not know yet which vhost the request goes to. This means that once
those configrations are set it will be applied to entire server. This patch
just renames the Sec{Read|Write}StateLimits to SecConn{Read|Write}StateLimits
to make it more clear to the user. SecConnectionEngine was also renamed to
SecConnEngine.
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.
Testing inet_pton with the help of Steffen. Acording to Steffen we can use
!(NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_VISTA) to identify that the specific Windows version
has this function defined or not, if so we can use the Windows version.
Reverting this commit to avoid to overwrite the Windows' function. And
see the original error that happened before this commit.
Instead of -dPlatform a recent update in the WiX files are demanding
the parameter -arch, although this parameter is not valid nor needed
while running "light".
This script could be used in order to verify all ModSecurity run time
dependencies. It is now part of ModSecurity folder in Program menu.
