Symptoms

Spontaneous failover occurs rarely due to a SOD core dump.

Impact

When SOD cores, all traffic groups fail over to another device. Non-mirrored flows will be interrupted.

Conditions

Cannot reproduce the issue reliably, so conditions for the crash are unknown.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Errors in handling memory have been fixed to prevent allocation failure.
