CVE-2023-35852-1

commit aee1523b4591430ebed1ded0bb95508e6717a335
Author: Jason Ish <jason.ish@oisf.net>

    datasets: don't allow absolute or paths with directory traversal

    For dataset filenames coming from rules, do not allow filenames that
    are absolute or contain a directory traversal with "..". This prevents
    datasets from escaping the define data-directory which may allow a bad
    rule to overwrite any file that Suricata has permission to write to.

    Add a new configuration option,
    "datasets.rules.allow-absolute-filenames" to allow absolute filenames
    in dataset rules. This will be a way to revert back to the pre 6.0.13
    behavior where save/state rules could use any filename.

    Ticket: #6118
