Bug #2190

closed

apparent 1000 character limit in threshold.conf IP lists

Added by Duane Howard almost 7 years ago. Updated about 3 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Priority:
Normal
Assignee:
Jeff Lucovsky
Target version:
7.0.0-beta1
Affected Versions:
Effort:
Difficulty:
Label:
Needs backport to 6.0

Description

something like:
suppress gen_id 0, sig_id 0, track by_src, ip [lots of chars] (see [0])
will elicit an error:
<Error> - [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_PCRE_GET_SUBSTRING(4)] - pcre_copy_substring failed

shortening this list (see [1]) to less than 1000 characters, will allow it to be successfully loaded.
Workarounds include moving list to a variable in suricata.yaml or splitting into chunks.
