RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The documentation firewalld.richlanguage(5) states that the maximum limit value is one per day ("1/d"). However, setting this limit value fails to set the rule.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firewalld-0.3.9-7.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Add a rich rule to firewalld specifying a limit value of "1/d"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a rich rule to firewalld specifying a limit value of "1/d"

Actual results:
Setting a volatile rule immediately returns the error :
Error: COMMAND_FAILED: [...] failed: iptables: Numerical result out of range.
No rule gets set in Netfilter

Expected results:
The firewall-cmd command returns "success" and the rule gets set in Netfilter

Additional info:
- Limit value works starting from 2/d
- When setting a permanent rule with a limit value of "1/d", the firewall-cmd command returns "success" for both the "--add-rich-rule" and the "--reload". However, looking at the output of "systemctl status firewalld" reveals the error.

> iptables: Numerical result out of range.

This looks like a problem in iptables,
but I can't see where exactly it comes from.

I pushed a workaround upstream:
