Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

tmm crashes, and in /var/log/ltm you see entries indicating "Signature failed": err tmm1[16816]: 01010216:3: DNSSEC: Signature failed (signature creation) for RRSET (host0530.f5test.net, 1) with key /Common/myZSK2, generation 1.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

This can occur when a dns-express zone generates more responses than the Thales can sign. The excess requests are queued and tmm can core.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

TMM no longer core when dnssec queries to dns-express zone exceed nethsm capacity.
