Symptoms

When executing a DNS iRule, TMM should allocate memory for the query name from memory cache when the iRule is suspended for the first time. However, if the iRule is suspended many times, memory allocation happens each time. Memory leak becomes significant and eventually cause TMM to crash.

Impact

TMM memory leaks and eventually crashes.

Conditions

Large volume of DNS traffic and the DNS iRule is suspended many times.

Workaround

This issue has no workaround.

Fix Information
