Description

The Suricata package GUI incorrectly adjusts the starting hour for the automated rules update cron task when the user selects a 12-hour update interval and chooses either midnight or 12:00 noon as one of the two start times. Instead of rolling over any hours value greater than 23 to 00, it instead writes a start time of 24 for the hours value in crontab.

This same bug was documented in the Snort package here: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/182480/snort-rule-update-settings-time-has-a-bug-with-the-cron-job. Because Suricata and Snort share much of the same PHP code, the bug is also present in Suricata. I will submit a fix for this.
