While we support initializing records via coercion from an expression
list, e.g.,
local x: X = [$x1=1, $x2=2];
this can sometimes obscure the code to readers, e.g., when assigning to
value declared and typed elsewhere. The language runtime has a similar
overhead since instead of just constructing a known type it needs to
check at runtime that the coercion from the expression list is valid;
this can be slower than just writing the readible code in the first
place, see #4559.
With this patch we use explicit construction, e.g.,
local x = X($x1=1, $x2=2);
This adds a "policy" hook into the logging framework's streams and
filters to replace the existing log filter predicates. The hook
signature is as follows:
hook(rec: any, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter);
The logging manager invokes hooks on each log record. Hooks can veto
log records via a break, and modify them if necessary. Log filters
inherit the stream-level hook, but can override or remove the hook as
needed.
The distribution's existing log streams now come with pre-defined
hooks that users can add handlers to. Their name is standardized as
"log_policy" by convention, with additional suffixes when a module
provides multiple streams. The following adds a handler to the Conn
module's default log policy hook:
hook Conn::log_policy(rec: Conn::Info, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter)
{
if ( some_veto_reason(rec) )
break;
}
By default, this handler will get invoked for any log filter
associated with the Conn::LOG stream.
The existing predicates are deprecated for removal in 4.1 but continue
to work.
* origin/topic/seth/smb-pending-fix:
Updating the defined SMB2 dialects to match Microsofts current docs.
On rare occasions the server doesn't return the tree id on read responses.
Fix an issue with pending commands.
BIT-1862 #merged
This tracks the tree id given by the request
This also addresses BIT-1862 with code submitted by Stefano Rinaldi
and took some hints from his changes in other areas of the code.
expose SMB_Data.Trans_Parameters and SMB_Data.Trans_Data fields of
SMB_COM_TRANSACTION (0x25) message type. See MS-CIFS section
2.2.4.33.1.
These fields are exposed to the script level as Bro strings. Note that
this commit also expose a new event smb1_transaction_response.
SMB error handling improved. The analyzer isn't destroyed when a problem
is encoutered anymore. The flowbuffer in the parser is now flushed and
the analyzer is set to resync against an SMB command. This was needed
because there is some state about open files that is kept within the
parser itself which was being destroyed and that was causing analysis
after content gaps or parse errors to be faulty. The new mechanism
doesn't detroy the parser so parsing after gaps is improved.
DCE_RPC handling in SMB is improved in the edge case where a drive
mapping isn't seen. There is a new const named SMB::pipe_filenames
which is used as a heuristic for identifying "files" opened on named
pipe shares. If the share mapping type isn't known and a filename
in this set is found, the share type will change to "PIPE" by
generating an event named "smb_pipe_connect_heuristic". Reads and
writes to that file will be sent to the DCE_RPC analyzer instead of
to the files framework.
The concept of "unknown" share types has been removed due to the new
heuristic detection of share types.
Some general clean up of how the SMB cmd log is written and when.
