Last Modified: Feb 13, 2026

Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.8.3

Opened: Jan 06, 2026

Severity: 3-Major

System memory usage will increase over time without boundaries.

The rsyslog daemon will retry, and memory will continue to increase. This could potentially exhaust system memory.

Remote-syslog servers configured with TCP protocol that cannot establish a connection (or has a unreliable connectivity).

Fix the connection, remove the invalid or flaky servers from config, OR use the UDP protocol.
