[01-Oct-2018 10:42:56 Etc/UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc:2805
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/local/www/firewall_rules_edit.php(146): filter_rules_sort()

thrown in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc on line 2805

If someone removes all rules, leaving only automatic rules like the anti-lockout rule and bogons, this error can occur.

I couldn't replicate this one on:

SG-3100
2.4.4-RELEASE (arm)
built on Thu Sep 20 09:33:19 EDT 2018
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p3

I tried with a different type of rules with and without aliases. If there is a specific way how to replicate it, please provide more details.

You have to delete all of the rules in the config so it only has <filter></filter>

So you'd have to hit it from LAN with the anti-lockout rule passing you through.

Was able to replicate this after verifying <filter></filter> in config, connecting on the Anti-lockout rule, and trying to add a new firewall rule on LAN I received this error when the GUI failed:

After hitting the Back button in the browser I had an alert:

Upgraded to Current Base System 2.4.5.a.20181120.0855, retested with same steps, was able to add new firewall rule without issue.

Confirmed resolved.
