Bug #3644
closedInvalid memory read on malformed rule with Lua script
Description
When a trailing semicolon is omitted from a rule with a lua script, Suricata still tries to load a lua script from the wrong memory location in the process. On 4.0 and earlier, this location is semi-random and doesn't always repro. On 4.1, the location seems consistent, but it still incorrect. On 4.0 and earlier, this can lead to segmentation faults if the memory is not a valid location.
Sample rule:
alert http any any -> any any (msg:"Test Lua on Load Failure"; content:"|00 00 00 00|"; lua:lua/test.lua; rev:1)
Sample Error Output:
[56494] 11/12/2018 -- 21:56:15 - (detect-lua.c:623) <Error> (DetectLuaThreadInit) -- [ERRCODE: SC_ERR_LUA_ERROR(212)] - couldn't load file: cannot open n/hta
: No such file or directory
