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.
