People keep running into the problem that they upgrade Bro but forget
to recompile their plugins--which can lead to crashes. While the
plugins' API version was supposed to catch this, it's not reliable as
that check may come too late. This change takes a different tack: We
compile a C function into the Bro binary that has Bro's version number
encoded into its name. A plugin can then reference that function. If
the Bro version changes, the function goes away and the plugin won't
load anymore.
I've integrated that function reference into the plugin skeleton code
so that new plugins get it automatically (unless explicitly removed).
I couldn't see a way to do it transparently for already existing
plugins unfortunately.
The version number used for the function name is slightly normalized
to skip any git revision postfixes (i.e., "2.5-xxx" is always treated
as "2.5-git") so that one doesn't need to recompile all plugins after
every master commit. That seems good enough, usually people run into
this when upgrading to a new release.
If one loads an old plugin into a new Bro, the error message looks
like this:
$ bro -NN Demo::Foo
fatal error in /home/robin/bro/master/scripts/base/init-bare.bro, line 1:
cannot load plugin library /home/robin/tmp/p/build//lib/Demo-Foo.linux-x86_64.so:
/home/robin/tmp/p/build//lib/Demo-Foo.linux-x86_64.so: undefined symbol: bro_version_2_5_git_debug
Not the prettiest, but better than a crash!
TODO: I'm still unsure if we should remove the plugin API version
altogetger now. This link-time check should catch everything the API
version does, except for master commits.
* origin/topic/dnthayer/ticket1821:
Remove loading of listen.bro in tests that do not need it
Serialize tests that load listen.bro
Fix race condition causing some tests to fail
Fix a race condition in some failing tests
The broccoli-v6addrs "-r" option was renamed to "-R"
Fix a race condition in some failing tests
Tests that load "frameworks/communication/listen" must be serialized
to prevent other tests failing due to multiple Bro instances trying
to listen on the same port.
Removed loading of the "frameworks/communication/listen" script for
a couple of tests that don't need this functionality. This was causing
failures of some broccoli-related tests in the "istate" test directory
due to two instances of Bro trying to listen on the same port.
Use the new "-R" option for broccoli-vectors and broping so that
they will retry connecting to Bro until the connection is established.
This avoids a race condition and eliminates the need for a "sleep"
after starting Bro.
* 'nfs_changes' of https://github.com/jwallior/bro:
Add nfs unittest. Includes an example for the new nfs_proc_rename.
Added rename event to rpc/nfs protocol analyzer. This event identifies and reports information about nfs/rpc calls and replies of the type rename.
Expand parsing of RPC Call packets to add Uid, Gid, Stamp, MachineName and AuxGIDs
Fix NFS protocol parser.
The tests that were using the broccoli-v6addrs test program would
sometimes fail because broccoli-v6addrs would try to connect to Bro
and fail (presumably because Bro hadn't yet fully initialized).
Fixed by using the new broccoli-v6addrs "-r" option which will retry
upon failure to connect to Bro.
Move from using CCS (before: established) to just doing certificate
validation at the end of the connection.
This is (again) more robust in the case of aborted connection. I am
moving this into a hook because of the complexity of the
end-of-connection handling for SSL.
This should probably be extended to not just handle SSL validation, but
all other logging constructs that are currently called in _established.
These were caused by earlier code updates.
This commit also removes the ocsp stapling logging script; it was
defunctional and the information provided by it wnever really has been
especially interesting.
This triggers a re-validation of the SCT when the certificate validation
status changed. This means that a SCT will show as valid if the
certificate chain could be validated and can now be used to determine
the correct issuer key hash.
With this commit, the data structure that is transfered for notice
suppression is much smaller than before, not including potentially
complex data structures like the fa_file record.
The two hooks being added are:
void HookLogInit(const std::string& writer, const std::string& instantiating_filter, bool local, bool remote, const logging::WriterBackend::WriterInfo& info, int num_fields, const threading::Field* const* fields);
which is called when a writer is being instantiated and contains
information about the fields being logged, as well as
bool HookLogWrite(const std::string& writer, const std::string& filter, const logging::WriterBackend::WriterInfo& info, int num_fields, const threading::Field* const* fields, threading::Value** vals);
which is called for each log line being written by each writer. It
contains all the data being written. The data can be changed in the
function call and lines can be prevented from being written.
This commit also fixes a few small problems with plugin hooks itself,
and extends the tests that were already there, besides introducing tests
for the added functionality.
