It's strange that you are seeing hits because this rule has
'flowbits:noalert;' in it.

This rule is designed set the flowbits for another rule:

alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> any any (msg:"ET CURRENT_EVENTS Possible OpenSSL
HeartBleed Large HeartBeat Response (Client Init Vuln Server)";
flow:established,to_client; content:"|18 03|"; depth:2; byte_test:1,<,4,2;
flowbits:isset,ET.HB.Request.CI; flowbits:isnotset,ET.HB.Response.CI;
flowbits:set,ET.HB.Response.CI; flowbits:unset,ET.HB.Request.CI;
byte_test:2,>,150,3; threshold:type limit,track by_src,count 1,seconds 120;
reference:cve,2014-0160; reference:url,
blog.inliniac.net/2014/04/08/detecting-openssl-heartbleed-with-suricata/;
reference:url,heartbleed.com/; reference:url,
blog.fox-it.com/2014/04/08/openssl-heartbleed-bug-live-blog/;
classtype:bad-unknown; sid:2018377; rev:3;)

Does your local ruleset have 'flowbits:noalert;'?  Are you seeing hits
for 2018377?
