Summary1905: IP bans are broken for manual wildcard bans
DescriptionRunning Composr v9.0.19, IP Bans from Adminzone>Security>Banned IP Addresses generates warnings for all IPv4 addresses that contain an asterisk wildcard when the Save button is clicked. It also generates a warning for an auto-banned IPv6 address. The warnings say the IP addresses are not valid. Here are two example warnings:

'A ban on 120.40.145.* could not be added, as the IP address is not valid (must must be a full IPv4 or IPv6 address).'

'A ban on 2a00:1210:fffe:0196:0000:0000:0000:0001 Failed to complete the CAPTCHA while posting links in unrecognised Comcode-syntax (silent error to catch spammers) could not be added, as the IP address is not valid (must must be a full IPv4 or IPv6 address).'

A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) have been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
