Same here. Have only had pfSense installed for a few weeks in a VM as a test and noticed this today:

Same for me !
:(
snort 3.2.9.1_13 / snort-2.9.8.0_1 -
This will be fixed soon. An updated package pull request has been posted and is waiting to be merged into the RELEASE pfSense package repository. The updated package is already in the DEVEL tree.
The July 4 holiday weekend here in the United States has slowed things down a little bit. It was ultimately my mistake for letting the EOL date of the Snort VRT rules sneak up on me. I was not timely in getting the 2.9.8.3 update for the Snort binary out there. The rules for the 2.9.8.0 version that is currently in pfSense RELEASE went EOL on July 1.
