In IPS mode rule actions need to be have the action 'drop' for the
protection to work, however this is not appropriate for all rules.
Modify the generator for oinkmaster-modify-sids.conf to leave
rules with the action 'alert' here this is appropriate. Also add
a script to be run on update to correct existing downloaded rules.
Fixes #12086

Hi Tim,
Thanks for working on this. It is a long patch…

Why is this necessary? Shouldn’t the downloader already be running as nobody or suricata?

Great commenting :)
I am not so sure if it is a good idea to sort of hard-code the type of ruleset in the next bit.
What happens when we are adding more rulesets from other sources? How can we test this? We already have commercial rulesets listed right now which we cannot test at all. How do we know this works?

What is this script for? Do we only run this to update the systems?
Can we not just trigger a re-download of the rules?

The typos could have been an extra patch to keep this one smaller (and I would have merged that right away).

Would it not be easier to pass MONITOR_TRAFFIC_ONLY to the function instead of having two places where $ruleaction is being determined (the other one is further below)?

I am awaiting Stefan’s response because he is the suricata expert.
Although the patch is large, I can imagine that this was a lot of work and took quite some time to figure out. Thanks for that!
I didn’t test it yet, but will deploy this into production as soon as Stefan gives his OK.
Best,
-Michael

Hello Tim,
thank you for submitting this patch.
I can confirm it solves side effects as described in #12086
(primarily tested with DNS and SMTP traffic, but there may be
other issues I am not aware of).
Tested-by: Peter Müller <peter.mueller(a)ipfire.org>
Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

Thanks for the feedback Peter.
Can we have Stefan reply to this and give us his thoughts?
I would like to close Core Update 133 by the end of the week and this patch must be in there. It is a very pressing bug.
