Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

HTTP commands do not return an error when called from an invalid state, such as after HTTP::disable has been called, or from an 'after' script. TMM might crash and report a message in one of the TMM logs: notice panic: ../modules/hudfilter/http/http_cookie.c:489: Assertion "cookie name exists" failed.

Impact

TMM might restart. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

Executing HTTP commands in an iRule from an invalid state.

Workaround

Change iRule so that it is not calling HTTP commands from an invalid state.

Fix Information

HTTP commands now returns an error and aborts the script when called from an invalid state.
