PDB, WDB, and CDB signatures can use a regex feature to match domain names. At one time in the process we ran a filter search to speed up filtering out non-matching static patterns but were accidentally discarding the result. When tested, it turns out it wasn't working correctly anyways. Since then, we've fixed some bugs and upgraded the regex implementation to the latest version. After re-testing, I have found that the filter_search() appears to be working correctly now, both in the unit tests and with the existing CDB signatures.

I went back to figure out when the test was fixed. I didn't spent a lot of time testing, but I did find that with this change version 0.104 has the following test failure: That failure is gone as of 0.105, and of course is not present in main either. Outside of some expected failures in the CI pipelines, everything looks good. |
