Description

Taken from https://forum.suricata.io/t/custom-content-detection/4784/5

As mentioned in the issue, when stream.checksum-validation is set to false, a packet will get the PKT_IGNORE_CHECKSUM flag, bypassing all checksum related rules in detect-csum.c.

We've come across routers stripping TCP options from SYN packets without them properly updating the checksum afterwards. We would like to detect this behavior, while still having these incorrect packets progress to the tcp-reassembler. It doesn't seem like this is currently possible.

I agree that this shouldn't happen.

Are you able to craft a SV test for this issue?

I've attached a test I created with stream.checksum-validation=yes then switching to stream.checksum-validation=no fails the test as attached, is this enough to confirm the bug?
