Bug #3258
openVXLAN exceeds MTU maximum
Added by xu hui over 4 years ago. Updated about 2 years ago.
Description
My Suricata is deployed on AWS because the VXLAN protocol is used to encapsulate and send traffic mirrors, which causes the MTU to exceed the maximum.When a packet with an MTU exceeding the maximum value appears in the TCP stream, Suricata cannot perform protocol parsing on subsequent normal packets.On the other hand, WireShark can parse the contents of subsequent normal length packets.This is important to me because I can't modify the MTU in a production environment, but I need to parse the contents of subsequent normal packets.
This is a sample PCAP
First, I visited the normal page (HTTP) three times;
Then, a large page (HTTP) is accessed, triggering the VXLAN MTU to exceed its maximum value.
Finally, the normal page (HTTP) was accessed 10 times.
Suricata can only parse 4 HTTP events;
Wireshark can parse 13 HTTP events;

I tried using Zeek to read pcap and compare it with Suricata.
Suricata can only parse 4 HTTP events;

Thank you for your reply, I found this problem due to too large parameter configuration.
stream:
memcap: 1gb
checksum-validation: no # reject wrong csums
inline: no # auto will use inline mode in IPS mode, yes or no set it statically
midstream: true
async-oneside: true

So you could solve it by an updated configuration?
What values did you have before?

I tried to fix it by configuration, but still some packets can't fully audit the HTTP data. I didn't put those packets because of privacy issues, which made me a headache.

Would it be possible to craft some packets using a tool like scapy, or share a pcap privately, or scrub the pcap clean?

Yeah, I have modified the sensitive content, but there is no way to modify some content, I can share it internally, I can send it to you if you need it.
Yes, I modified some sensitive content, but some sensitive content I can't completely cover.I would love to share this packet internally, hoping to help solve this problem.
