Feature #933
openadd a IPv6 ( RFC2460 recommended order of EH )rule to decoder events rules
Description
Using Suricata 1.4.5 and beta.
Three pcaps attached -
AbnormalOrderIPv6NonRFC2460Recommended.pcap
AbnormalOrderIPv6HopByHopNotFirst.pcap
AbnormalOrderIPv6HopByHopNotFirst-2.pcap
RFC2460 recommends the order in which they should be chained in an IPv6 packet: 1. IPv6 main header 2. Hop-by-Hop Options header (if present, it MUST be the first one following the main/regular header) 3. Destination Options header 4. Routing header 5. Fragment header 6. Authentication header 7. Encapsulating Security Payload header 8. Destination Options header 9. Upper-layer header The only MUST requirement is that the Hop-by-Hop EH has to be the first one. Ref: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2460.txt
The above mentioned pcaps (attached) mimic the opposite of the recommendations and requirements of the RFC2460
In AbnormalOrderIPv6NonRFC2460Recommended.pcap - the Extension Headers are not ordered as recommended in RFC2460
In AbnormalOrderIPv6HopByHopNotFirst.pcap - the Hop By Hop extension header is present and not first after the main/regular header.
In AbnormalOrderIPv6HopByHopNotFirst-2.pcap - the Hop By Hop extension header is present and not first after the main/regular header.
Currently Suricata does not alert in those cases where the order of EH is against the recommended by RFC2460. It could be helpful to include such a rule.
