Opened: Jan 09, 2024 Severity: 2-Critical
When CACHE_REQUEST iRule stops, the Ramcache filter stays in CACHE_INIT state when it restarts. This causes the request to be processed twice, which causes high CPU usage or a crash when an incorrect address is encountered.
- High CPU on boxes with 4G of valid memory after the key is hashed - on smaller boxes, will crash when an invalid address is encountered.
- HTTP Virtual server - CACHE_REQUEST iRule with ms delay - Multiple attempts to request a compressed doc
- Removal of CACHE_REQUEST iRule if avoidable
