Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Radius AVP parsing might get out of sync on Vendor-Specific AVP iRules and produce a Tcl error: Buffer error.

Impact

Tcl Error and potentially a dropped request. The error is similar to the following: err tmm3[12353]: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common <CLIENT_ACCEPTED> - Buffer error (line 1) (line 1) invoked from within "RADIUS::avp 26 string vendor-id 9 vendor-type 1.

Conditions

This occurs when there is an iRule looking for a specific Vendor-Specific AVP, and a Radius Packet that contains a different Vendor-Specific AVP, that comes alphabetically before the one in the iRule.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

None
