Bug #10
closedflags:0; alerts when it shoudn't
Description
when checking for no tcp flags being set via flags:0; via flags:0; the engine alerts even when flags are set. I have attached a patch that has a failing unittest displaying this issue.
#rules file
alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"No flags set"; flags:0; sid:1;)
alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"SYN flag set"; flags:S,12; sid:2;)
