Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP TMOS(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
14.1.0, 14.1.0.1, 14.1.0.2, 14.1.0.3, 14.1.0.5, 14.1.0.6, 14.1.2, 14.1.2.1, 14.1.2.2, 14.1.2.3, 14.1.2.4, 15.0.0, 15.0.1, 15.0.1.1, 15.0.1.2, 15.0.1.3, 15.0.1.4

Fixed In:
15.1.0, 14.1.2.5, 13.1.5

Opened: Apr 24, 2019

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

All security associations (SAs) can be deleted when tmipsecd restarts as a result of closing tmm connections during failover from active to standby.

Impact

tmipsecd restarts. All IPsec tunnels experience an interruption of service until new SAs are negotiated.

Conditions

When failover happens for high availability (HA), tmipsecd aims to close tmm connections when on standby, because tmm must connect instead to the daemon running in the active system. But a side effect of this restarts tmipsecd, resulting in deletion of all SAs when tmipsecd came back up.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Now tmipsecd no longer restarts when the tmm connections are closed in response to failover from active to standby.
