[Zeek] Help to detect CVE-2019-11479

It just dawned on me. I did this for CVE-2019-11477 the other day. The below should add “mss” and “sack_ok” fields to your CONN log for all TCP connections.
I’m not great at Zeek scripting, so take this with some caution. I’m sure there are folks here on the list that could better optimize this. :)



	redef record Conn::Info += {
		mss: count &optional &log;
		sack_ok: bool &optional &log;
	};
	
	redef record connection += {
		mss: count &optional &log;
		sack_ok: bool &optiional &log;
	};

	event connection_SYN_packet(c: connection, pkt: SYN_packet) {
		c$mss = pkt$MSS;
		c$sack_ok = pkt$SACK_OK;
	}

	event connection_state_remove(c: connection) {
		if ( c ?$ mss )
			c$conn$mss = c$mss;

		if (c ?$ sack_ok )
			c$conn$sack_ok = c$sack_ok;
	}
