Description

In a config with many voucher rolls, attempting to expire a block of ~100 vouchers can fail on a specific roll.

For example, in the attached config.xml portion for vouchers, using roll 39, attempt to expire all vouchers 80-180 using Status > Captive Portal, Expire Vouchers tab. The tab reports success but the .db file in /var/db/ for the voucher roll looks abnormal and the "Voucher Rolls" tab only reports 4 vouchers used. Several unrelated vouchers appear to be affected, easiest example is voucher 2 claims to be expired when it should not be.

Performing the same task on a fresh system with only 2-3 voucher rolls does not appear to present the problem. Expiring a similar block of vouchers (80-180) properly shows the correct number (101) for the "used" count.

On the problem config the voucher CLI program reports the voucher is OK but then it shows expired once it reaches the expiration check math tests.

Example of some test info from the broken config:

$cpzone = "guest";

$active = voucher_read_active_db("39");
$used = bin2hex(voucher_read_used_db("39"));
$uc = voucher_used_count("39");

var_dump($active);
var_dump($used);
var_dump($uc);

Output:

array(0) {
}
string(2) "1f" 
int(4)

On a working config (same PHP exec code as above), output is:

array(0) {
}
string(256) "00000000000000000000ffffffffffffffffffffffff1f000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" 
int(101)

The attached voucher config section can be dropped in any other config. Needs an enabled Captive Portal zone called "guest".
