Bug ID 627798: Buffer length check for quota bucket objects

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP PEM(all modules)

Fixed In:
13.0.0, 12.1.2 HF1

Opened: Nov 09, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

For quota bucket (Rating Groups) object, BIG-IP allocates a large buffer locally, and doesn't expect it to be over-run as the objects are expected to be smaller

Impact

For quota bucket objects which are in PEM database, the buffer is usually large enough, so there should not be any impact. But if the quota bucket ever gets larger, then potential corruption of the quota bucket information could occur. This could trigger a tmm core. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

Any quota bucket objects which are being inserted in PEM database

Workaround

quota bucket with fewer rules

Fix Information

None

Behavior Change
