[Oisf-devel] geoip keyword syntax

It is fixed now. It was a silly issue with one "if" (plus a few other minor
issues in the option string parser).

Now everything seems to be working ok.

The match function looks like this now:

static int DetectGeoipMatch(ThreadVars *t, DetectEngineThreadCtx *det_ctx,
                             Packet *p, Signature *s, SigMatch *m)
{
    DetectGeoipData *geoipdata = (DetectGeoipData *)m->ctx;
    int match = 0;
    int matches = 0;

    if (PKT_IS_IPV4(p))
    {
        if (geoipdata->flags & GEOIP_MATCH_SRC_FLAG ||
geoipdata->flags & GEOIP_MATCH_BOTH_FLAG)
        {
            /* if there is a flow get SRC IP of the flow, not packet
*/
            if (p->flowflags & FLOW_PKT_TOCLIENT)
                /* the dst (from server to client) is our src */
                match = CheckGeoMatchIPv4(geoipdata, GET_IPV4_DST_ADDR_U32(p));
            else
                match = CheckGeoMatchIPv4(geoipdata, GET_IPV4_SRC_ADDR_U32(p));
            if (match)
            {
                if (geoipdata->flags & GEOIP_MATCH_BOTH_FLAG)
                    matches++;
                else
                    return 1;
            }
        }
        if (geoipdata->flags & GEOIP_MATCH_DST_FLAG ||
geoipdata->flags & GEOIP_MATCH_BOTH_FLAG)
        {
            /* if there is a flow get DST IP of the flow, not packet
*/
            if (p->flowflags & FLOW_PKT_TOCLIENT)
                /* the src (from server to client) is our dst */
                match = CheckGeoMatchIPv4(geoipdata, GET_IPV4_SRC_ADDR_U32(p));
            else
                match = CheckGeoMatchIPv4(geoipdata, GET_IPV4_DST_ADDR_U32(p));
            if (match)
            {
                if (geoipdata->flags & GEOIP_MATCH_BOTH_FLAG)
                    matches++;
                else
                    return 1;
            }
        }
        /* if matches == 2 is because match-on is "both" */
        if (matches == 2)
            return 1;
    }

    return 0;
}
