Description

The subject is self-explained. If I send a HTTP Post request with gzipped Post body it doesnt get decompressed and cleartext inside could not be inspected by signatures.
Of course it is the IDS bypass technique.

Example signatures:
alert http any any -> any any (msg: "GZIPPED REQUEST"; flow: established, to_server; content: "name"; http_client_body; nocase; sid: 1; rev: 1; )
alert http any any -> any any (msg: "TO_SERVER |1F 8B|"; flow: established, to_server; content: "|1F 8B|"; http_client_body; sid: 2; rev: 1; )

Pcap Attached

Expectation: alert sid 1
Reality: alert sid 2

Libhtp, which does the decompression on the response body side, simply doesn't implement decompression for request bodies. So addressing this issue would involve adding this support to libhtp or implementing it in Suricata itself somehow.

Hi Victor, should I submit this issue to libhtp github and close this one?

I think a libhtp issue would be good, but lets keep this ticket open as well. Thanks!

Hi Philippe, can you have a look at what it would take for us to also support request body decompression?
