Description

Beginning around the first of March 2022, the Snort rules update package from the Snort VRT changed the subdirectory name for the precompiled Shared Object (SO) rules, in the archive, from "FreeBSD-12" to "FreeBSD-13". The Snort rules update code in the GUI parses the current FreeBSD version from the operating system, so since pfSense is still on FreeBSD 12.3, this results in the rules update code searching for a non-existent "FreeBSD-12" subdirectory in the archive when unpacking it. Until such time as pfSense moves to FreeBSD-13, this logic needs to be changed and the subdirectory name hard-coded to "FreeBSD-13".
