Symptoms

Modifying a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) profile associated with a virtual server may result in the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) producing a core file. As a result of this issue, you may encounter one or more of the following symptoms: -- BIG-IP system sends an invalid memory access segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) or floating point error (SIGFPE), signal to TMM, resulting in a stack trace that appears in the /var/log/tmm file. -- TMM restarts and produces a core file in the /shared/core directory. -- The BIG-IP system generates an assertion failure panic string in the /var/log/tmm file that appears similar to the following example: panic: ../kern/umem.c:3881: Assertion "valid type" failed

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

1. LTM virtual server is configured with multiple SSL profiles, one of which is the default SNI profile. 2. A configuration change is made that affects the virtual server. Among others: -- Configuration is reloaded either manually or automatically after config sync. -- Change is made to any of the SSL profiles configured on the virtual server. -- SSL profiles are added or removed from the virtual server profile list. -- Change is made to the virtual server. -- Virtual server is deleted.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Making SSL profile configuration changes now completes successfully.
