Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Ramcache filter causes crash when sending data without HUDCTL_RESPONSE while in CACHE_COLLECT event.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

When the access_policy_trace db variable is enabled, failure in insertion of policy path cookie in the header while sending a redirect to the client might cause the ramcache filter to SIGSEGV.

Workaround

Turn off the access_policy_trace db variable.

Fix Information

The system now handles this scenario, so there is no longer a ramcache crash.
