Description

When running Suricata in Unix Socket mode, stats such as packet count are not reset after each PCAP is scanned. This leads to incorrect/invalid data in the output file which states incorrect packet numbers for fired events.

e.g. I scan a 1000 packet PCAP, then I scan a second 1000 packet PCAP. An event is triggered on packet 500 of PCAP #2, but the output states the packet fired on is 1500 which is not even a valid packet number for that PCAP.

Another statistic not being reset is the file extraction counter.

I haven't actually confirmed other statistics, but I have solved the pcap_cnt being incorrect by adding the line

memset(&pcap_g, 0x00, sizeof(pcap_g));

to the first line of

void PcapFileGlobalInit()

in src/source-pcap-file.c
