Description

Hello Gentlemen,

I've built this signature last week. It is generating an alert where it shouldn't False Positive. Maybe it is a problem with suricata file_data because

#original signature that False Positives
alert http any any -> any any (msg:"ETPRO TROJAN TeamSpy Campaign module download"; flow:established,from_server; content:"Content-Type|3a| image/jpeg"; http_header; file_data; content:!"|FF D8 FF|"; within:3; content:"CU"; within:2; reference:url,crysys.hu/teamspy/teamspy.pdf; classtype:trojan-activity; sid:2806152; rev:3; )

this sig should not ring here because there is not a "CU" depth:2; at file_data

Confirmed, thanks Pedro.

@Anoop, could reproduce the issue with Pedro's yaml.

The problem is indeed that a later chunk is inspected with "depth" as if it's the start of the buffer. We should probably set a flag or count the offset or something when considering depth.
