pfBlockerNG PHP error when editing a list
Added by Steve Wheeler about 1 month ago.
Updated 12 days ago.
Affected Plus Version:
24.03
Description
When editing an IPv4 list item I hit:
PHP Errors:
[27-Mar-2024 15:22:03 Europe/London] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: range(): Argument #3 ($step) must be greater than 0 for increasing ranges in /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php:391
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php(391): range(1, 17, -1)
#1 {main}
thrown in /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php on line 391
Looks like others have hit it editing other lists.
Tested:
pfSense-24.03.b.20240322.1708
pfSense-pkg-pfBlockerNG-3.2.0_9
Files
I can confirm this behavior.

No FreeBSD crash data found.
I can also confirm this behavior. I corrected it in my setup by editing line 391 of /usr/local/www/pfblockerng/pfblockerng_category_edit.php by changing the "range(1, 17, -1)" to "range(1, 17, 1)". This stopped the PHP error from occurring and allowed me to edit the DNSBL's again. I do not know if my change has other implications, although I have noticed no other issues since doing it.
This is due to a change in behavior with the range function as of PHP 8.3.0 https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.range.php
The correct solution is the edit to a positive 1, which would have the same output as the previous call on the older versions of PHP. I'll have a merge request together shortly.

Any luck getting the PR merged?
I cant update any of my feeds without it.
I've tested the patch against the:
24.03-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Wed Apr 24 17:38:00 UTC 2024
FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT
After applying the patch, I was able to edit both the DNSBL Groups and IPv4 addresses.
It fixes what is reported here as well:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15419
There are actually 2 spots where this can cause an error. The pull request addresses both. The patch attached reflects the pull request.
i dont know how to add the patch from the screen shot.
I am hoping it can be available through the package manager.

ive added the fixes manually and confirmed all is well.
Any reason why this hasn't been pushed out via the repo?
