Please also post that in the IDS/IPS board of the forum so the package maintainer has a higher chance of seeing it:

I am so far unable to reproduce this problem in my virtual machine test environment. What language/locale is your firewall set for? Attached is a screencap from a VM I updated successively from 2.3.3 all the way up to 2.4.0.

I've upgraded from 2.3.4-p1 to 2.4.0 and not changed the locale. it's using the default English I guess as I've not set it

Ah I don't have an Assigned Alias, so it displays the txt regardless of what ever the locale is set to.
Just created empty pass lists with the interface name

Ah, so an empty string might be the cause. Let me test that.
UPDATE- an empty string is the cause, now to find out why ???

Well, because https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/master/src/usr/local/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/pfSense.po#L2 ?
That makes the empty msgid "" string being translated to the multi-line msgstr nonsense (apparently meant as comments/metadata) with en-US locale.
@Andy: Pretty convinced that if you rename/delete /usr/local/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/pfSense.mo the issue will be gone.

Cheers guys, it does disapear after moving pfSense.mo pfSense.mo.old
So not a Snort issue then.
Updated by Bill Meeks over 6 years ago
No, it's not directly a Snort issue. It appears to be something that was perhaps inadvertently introduced when the translation files were updated/rebuilt for pfSense 2.4.0. I think this may also show up in other areas where gettext() is used and an empty string is the passed argument.

This issue has been resoved in the 3.2.9.6 Snort package versions. The bogus text was coming from an attempt to use gettext() to print an empty string. This ticket can be closed.
