Opened: May 20, 2020 Severity: 2-Critical
If an iRule utilizing the clientside or serverside command causes parking to occur while in the clientside/serverside command (table or after commands, for example), the connection is aborted while parked, and a subsequent iRule event attempts to run (CLIENT_CLOSED, for example), tmm may restart.
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
-- iRule using clientside or serverside command. -- Use of commands that may park while in the clientside/serverside command. -- Flow is aborted while iRule is parked. -- iRule also has CLIENT_CLOSED or SERVER_CLOSED event handler. For more information on the conditions that trigger iRule parking, see K12962: Some iRules commands temporarily suspend iRules processing, available at https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K12962.
You can use either of the following workarounds: -- Rework iRules to avoid use of clientside/serverside command. -- Eliminate parking within the clientside/serverside commands.
iRule parking in clientside/serverside command no longer causes tmm to restart.
