Description

We are not strict enough when dealing with flags. This sig fires in
suricata, but fails to fire in snort because it appears as if snort
uses stricter checking for flags. So to get this to fire in snort I
need something like RA,12 or +R,12. As the ACK flag is set along with
the Reset flag.
