Symptoms

Nested wildcard deletion deletes all of the objects (matched or not matched).

Impact

All objects are deleted, instead of those targeted for delete.

Conditions

Use deletion in a nested TMSH command. For example: tmsh modify gtm server GTM1 virtual-servers delete {f*} This deletes all virtual servers even if none of the servers match. The same issue applies to pool members.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Nested wildcard deletion now deletes matched objects only.
