ModSecurity for HAProxy
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
This is a third party deamon whoch speaks SPOE. It give requests send by HAProxy
|
|
to ModSecurity and returns the verdict.
|
|
|
|
Compilation
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
You must compile ModSecurity in standalone mode. Below an example for
|
|
ModSecurity-2.9.1. Note that ModSecurity depends the Apache APR. I assume that
|
|
the Apache dependencies are installed on the system.
|
|
|
|
./configure \
|
|
--prefix=$PWD/INSTALL \
|
|
--disable-apache2-module \
|
|
--enable-standalone-module \
|
|
--enable-pcre-study \
|
|
--without-lua \
|
|
--enable-pcre-jit
|
|
make
|
|
make -C standalone install
|
|
mkdir -p $PWD/INSTALL/include
|
|
cp standalone/*.h $PWD/INSTALL/include
|
|
cp apache2/*.h $PWD/INSTALL/include
|
|
|
|
Note that this compilation method works, but is a litle bit rustic. I cant
|
|
deal with Lua, I supposed that is a dependecies problem on my computer.
|
|
|
|
Start the service
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
After you have compiled it, to start the service, you just need to use "spoa"
|
|
binary:
|
|
|
|
$> ./modsecurity -h
|
|
Usage: ./spoa [-h] [-d] [-p <port>] [-n <num-workers>] [-f <config-file>]
|
|
-h Print this message
|
|
-d Enable the debug mode
|
|
-f <config-file> Modsecurity configuration file
|
|
-m <max-frame-size> Specify the maximum frame size (default : 16384)
|
|
-p <port> Specify the port to listen on (default: 12345)
|
|
-n <num-workers> Specify the number of workers (default: 5)
|
|
-c <capability> Enable the support of the specified capability
|
|
-t <time> Set a delay to process a message (default: 0)
|
|
The value is specified in milliseconds by default,
|
|
but can be in any other unit if the number is suffixed
|
|
by a unit (us, ms, s)
|
|
|
|
Note: A worker is a thread.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure a SPOE to use the service
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
All information about SPOE configuration can be found in "doc/SPOE.txt". Here is
|
|
the configuration template to use for your SPOE with ModSecurity module:
|
|
|
|
[modsecurity]
|
|
|
|
spoe-agent modsecurity-agent
|
|
messages check-request
|
|
option var-prefix modsec
|
|
timeout hello 100ms
|
|
timeout idle 30s
|
|
timeout processing 15ms
|
|
use-backend spoe-modsecurity
|
|
|
|
spoe-message check-request
|
|
args unique-id method path query req.ver req.hdrs_bin req.body_size req.body
|
|
event on-frontend-http-request
|
|
|
|
The engine is in the scope "modsecurity". So to enable it, you must set the
|
|
following line in a frontend/listener section:
|
|
|
|
frontend my-front
|
|
...
|
|
filter spoe engine modsecurity config spoe-modsecurity.conf
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because, in SPOE configuration file, we declare to use the backend
|
|
"spoe-modsecurity" to communicate with the service, you must define it in
|
|
HAProxy configuration. For example:
|
|
|
|
backend spoe-modsecurity
|
|
mode tcp
|
|
balance roundrobin
|
|
timeout connect 5s
|
|
timeout server 3m
|
|
server iprep1 127.0.0.1:12345
|
|
|
|
The modsecurity action is returned in a variable called txn.modsec.code. It
|
|
contains the HTTP returned code. If the variable contains 0, the request is
|
|
clean.
|
|
|
|
tcp-request content reject if { var(txn.modsec.code) -m int gt 0 }
|
|
|
|
With this rule, all the request not clean are reected.

Known bugs, limitations and TODO list
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Modsecurity bugs:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* When the audit_log is used with the directive "SecAuditLogType Serial", in
|
|
some systems, the APR mutex initialisation silently fails, this causes a
|
|
segmentation fault. For my own usage, I have a patched version of modsec where
|
|
I use another mutex than "APR_LOCK_DEFAULT" like "APR_LOCK_PROC_PTHREAD"
|
|
|
|
- rc = apr_global_mutex_create(&msce->auditlog_lock, NULL, APR_LOCK_DEFAULT, mp);
|
|
+ rc = apr_global_mutex_create(&msce->auditlog_lock, NULL, APR_LOCK_PROC_PTHREAD, mp);
|
|
|
|
* Configuration file loaded with wilcard (eg. Include rules/*.conf), are loaded
|
|
in reverse alphabetical order. You can found a patch below. The ModSecurity
|
|
team ignored this patch.
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/issues/1285
|
|
http://www.arpalert.org/0001-Fix-bug-when-load-files.patch
|
|
|
|
Or insert includes without wildcards.
|
|
|
|
Todo:
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* Clarify the partial body analysis.
|
|
* The response body is not yet analyzed.
|
|
* ModSecurity can't modify the response body.
|
|
* Implements real log management. Actually, the log are sent on stderr.
|
|
* Implements daemon things (forks, write a pid, etc.).
