Hi,

I would like to be able to write something like

!/usr/share/locale/[^/]/LC_MESSAGES/.*.mo$ mime=application/x-gettext-translation

to exclude everything that matches the given MIME type. That would probably help in reducing the amount of aide reports in directories with many known harmless files which could be used by an attacker to hide away executables or scripts or tools.

I know that this will link in libmagic which has a rather complicated security history, but the use case would be helpful anyway.

Greetings
Marc

Thanks for your feature request.

I strongly share your concerns about the security of libmagic, nevertheless I also understand your use case. Let's keep this issue open to decide later how to continue with it.
