The main change is that reassembly code (e.g. for TCP) now uses
int64/uint64 (signedness is situational) data types in place of int
types in order to support delivering data to analyzers that pass 2GB
thresholds. There's also changes in logic that accompany the change in
data types, e.g. to fix TCP sequence space arithmetic inconsistencies.
Another significant change is in the Analyzer API: the *Packet and
*Undelivered methods now use a uint64 in place of an int for the
relative sequence space offset parameter.
Replaced some with InternalWarning or InternalAnalyzerError, the later
being a new method which signals the analyzer to not process further
input. Some usages I just removed if they didn't make sense or clearly
couldn't happen. Also did some minor refactors of related code while
reviewing/exploring ways to get rid of InternalError usages.
Also, for TCP content file write failures there's a new event:
"contents_file_write_failure".
- The script-layer 'pkt_hdr' type is extended with a new 'ip6' field
representing the full IPv6 header chain.
- The 'new_packet' event is now raised for IPv6 packets (addresses #523)
- A new event called 'ipv6_ext_header' is raised for any IPv6 packet
containing extension headers.
- A new event called 'esp_packet' is raised for any packets using ESP
('new_packet' and 'ipv6_ext_header' events provide connection info,
but that info can't be provided here since the upper-layer payload
is encrypted).
- The 'unknown_protocol' weird is now raised more reliably when Bro
sees a transport protocol or IPv6 extension header it can't handle.
(addresses #522)
Still need to do IPv6 fragment reassembly and needs more testing.
