Optimization #3396
openSafer defaults when faced with error / fallback
Description
Hi,
I recently had a situations where:
- Had a noisy rule that wanted to disable
- ET PRO was having an issue where one of their rules were failing to parse
Because of the ruleset problem, suricata-update would fallback and use a previous good set of rules. This means, however, that changes made in local files (specifically disable.conf) would not be updated.
In my particular case, the solution would be for ET to fix the problem so that a new rules file could be created with the changes in local files.
Ideally, my local changes would find a way into rules EVEN if a ruleset is failing to parse (don't know what's the behavior in case of failure to download).
suricata-update 1.1.0

In this case was Suricata-Update failing or was it the Suricata test phase that was failing. I'm wondering if --no-test would have been a work-around for this case.
