fix(expect): check all rules before returning failure - #12570
AruneshDwivedi wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
The rule_apply function was returning FLB_FALSE immediately when the first rule failed, preventing subsequent rules from being evaluated. This caused the expect filter to only report one failed condition per log record even when multiple conditions were violated. Changed to use a 'failed' flag that tracks whether any rule failed, allowing all rules to be checked and all failures to be logged before returning the final result.

Remove NULL destruction from missing-key branches
When a record lacks a field referenced by key_exists, val is NULL by construction at this call, but flb_ra_key_value_destroy() immediately reads v->type; this therefore crashes Fluent Bit instead of recording the failed rule and evaluating the rest. The identical newly added cleanup in the missing-key_val_eq path has the same problem, so neither NULL path should call the destructor.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Fix the inverted
failedflag. The filter now reports the wrong result.
failedstarts asFLB_TRUE. Each failed rule sets it toFLB_FALSE.rule_applyreturnsfailed, and callers treatFLB_TRUEas "rules match".Consequences:
- If all rules pass,
rule_applyreturnsFLB_TRUE. This is correct only by accident of the naming.- If any rule fails,
rule_applyreturnsFLB_FALSE. This is also correct.The logic works, but the name
failedsays the opposite of what it stores. The name will cause future bugs. Rename the variable tomatchedand keep the same values.Proposed fix
- int failed = FLB_TRUE; + int matched = FLB_TRUE; ... - failed = FLB_FALSE; + matched = FLB_FALSE; ... - return failed; + return matched;Apply the rename at every assignment in the function.

Remove the NULL destroy calls.
Both branches call flb_ra_key_value_destroy(val) after val is known to be NULL. The function dereferences v->type without a NULL check, so these calls can crash.
Suggested fix
failed = FLB_FALSE;
n++;
- flb_ra_key_value_destroy(val);
continue;Apply the same removal in the key_exists missing-key branch.

Fixes #12555
Problem
When the expect filter checked multiple conditions and a log failed more than one, only the first condition was checked and logged. Subsequent rules were never evaluated because the function returned FLB_FALSE immediately after the first failure.
Solution
Changed the function to use a flag instead of early returns. Now all rules are evaluated, and failures are collected and logged before returning the final result. This ensures all violated conditions are reported to the user.
Changes
This is a minimal fix that preserves existing behavior while ensuring all rules are checked.
