At present many parsers create tmp subdirectories to store extracted
files. For parsers like the vba parser, this is required as the
directory is later scanned. For other parsers, these subdirectories are
probably not helpful now that we provide recursive sub-dirs when
--leave-temps is enabled. It's not quite as simple as removing the extra
subdirectories, however. Certain parsers, like autoit, don't create very
unique filenames and would result in file name collisions when
--leave-temps is not enabled.
The best thing to do would be to make sure each parser uses unique
filenames and doesn't rely on cli_magic_scan_dir() to scan extracted
content before removing the extra subdirectory. In the meantime, this
commit gives the extra subdirectories meaningful names to improve
readability.
This commit also:
- Provides the 'bmp' prefix for extracted PE icons.
- Removes empty tmp subdirs when extracting rtf files, to eliminate
clutter.
- The PDF parser sometimes creates tmp files when decompressing streams
before it knows if there is actually any content to decompress. This
resulted in a large number of empty files. While it would be best to
avoid creating empty files in the first place, that's not quite as
as it sounds. This commit does the next best thing and deletes the
tmp files if nothing was actually extracted, even if --leave-temps is
enabled.
- Removes the "scantemp" prefix for unnamed fmaps scanned with
cli_magic_scan(). The 5-character hashes given to tmp files with
prefixes resulted in occasional file name collisions when extracting
certain file types with thousands of embedded files.
- The VBA and TAR parsers mistakenly used NAME_MAX instead of PATH_MAX,
resulting in truncated file paths and failed extraction when
--leave-temps is enabled and a lot of recursion is in play. This commit
switches them from NAME_MAX to PATH_MAX.
Many of the core scanning functions' names no longer represent their
specific purpose or arguments. This commit aims to make the names more
intuitive. Names are now prefixed with "magic" if they involve
file-typing and file-type parsing. In addition, each function now
includes the type of input being scanned whether its "desc", "fmap", or
"buff". Some of the APIs also now specify "type" to indicate that a type
other than "ANY" may be passed in to select the type rather than use
file type magic for type recognition.

A way is needed to record scanned file names for two purposes:
1. File names (and extensions) must be stored in the json metadata
properties recorded when using the --gen-json clamscan option. Future
work may use this to compare file extensions with detected file types.
2. File names are useful when interpretting tmp directory output when
using the --leave-temps option.
This commit enables file name retention for later use by storing file
names in the fmap header structure, if a file name exists.
To store the names in fmaps, an optional name argument has been added to
any internal scan API's that create fmaps and every call to these APIs
has been modified to pass a file name or NULL if a file name is not
required. The zip and gpt parsers required some modification to record
file names. The NSIS and XAR parsers fail to collect file names at all
and will require future work to support file name extraction.
Also:
- Added recursive extraction to the tmp directory when the
--leave-temps option is enabled. When not enabled, the tmp directory
structure remains flat so as to prevent the likelihood of exceeding
MAX_PATH. The current tmp directory is stored in the scan context.
- Made the cli_scanfile() internal API non-static and added it to
scanners.h so it would be accessible outside of scanners.c in order to
remove code duplication within libmspack.c.
- Added function comments to scanners.h and matcher.h
- Converted a TDB-type macros and LSIG-type macros to enums for improved
type safey.
- Converted more return status variables from `int` to `cl_error_t` for
improved type safety, and corrected ooxml file typing functions so
they use `cli_file_t` exclusively rather than mixing types with
`cl_error_t`.
- Restructured the magic_scandesc() function to use goto's for error
handling and removed the early_ret_from_magicscan() macro and
magic_scandesc_cleanup() function. This makes the code easier to
read and made it easier to add the recursive tmp directory cleanup to
magic_scandesc().
- Corrected zip, egg, rar filename extraction issues.
- Removed use of extra sub-directory layer for zip, egg, and rar file
extraction. For Zip, this also involved changing the extracted
filenames to be randomly generated rather than using the "zip.###"
file name scheme.
These opcodes specify a function or keyword by number
instead of by name. The corresponding lookup tables
still have a few entries without names, but the majority
of them are been determined and verified.
Updated libclamav documentation detailing new scan options structure.
Renamed references to 'algorithmic' detection to 'heuristic' detection. Renaming references to 'properties' to 'collect metadata'.
Renamed references to 'scan all' to 'scan all match'.
Renamed a couple of 'Hueristic.*' signature names as 'Heuristics.*' signatures (plural) to match majority of other heuristics.
