Description

Suricata fails to download Emerging Threats rules archives in the latest pfSense DEVEL snapshots due to apparent changes in the behavior of the filter_var() function in PHP 8.1. Code that currently works fine in PHP 7.4 does not produce the same output in PHP 8.1, thus leading to the construction of an invalid URL for downloading Emerging Threats rules. The code is parsing the version string printed by the Suricata binary to pull out the only the numeric part.

A fix for this is being prepared and a pull request will be submitted for review and merge soon.

I presume this was initially opened using the ETOpen rule list and not the ETPro list. ETOpen working fine on:

I tested using both the Emerging Threats Open rules and the Emerging Threats Pro rules in a 2.7.0-DEVEL CE virtual machine. Both downloaded and installed correctly after this fix.
