Description

In offline mode, if the pcap starting timestamp is 0, localtime will never be updated. This prevent setting cause cached_minutes_start and cached_local_time array in util-time.c.

The issue with this behavior is that timestamp will be skipped whenever is needed.

The solution is to force setting the timestamp when cached_minute_start (in both mru and lru position) is zero (i.e, it's never been set before). Doing this will allow us to remove the check in the localtime_r call, as it's returned value will never be NULL.

Proof of bug:

1) setting a rule to
alert http any any -> any any (msg:"generic HTTP"; flow:established; content:"HTTP"; threshold: type limit, track by_src, count 5, seconds 180; sid:101; rev:1;)

2) Enable fast.log

3) run the attached pcap

expected behavior:
