Opened: Aug 01, 2018

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

SSL persistence hangs while parsing SSL records comprising multiple handshake messages.

Impact

SSL persistence parser fails to parse such messages correctly. The start of the record may be forwarded on to server but then connection will stall and eventually idle timeout.

Conditions

This issue intermittently happens when an incoming SSL record contains multiple handshake messages.

Workaround

There is no workaround other than using a different persistence, or disabling SSL persistence altogether. After changing or disabling persistence, the transaction succeeds and no longer hangs.

Fix Information

None
