Last Modified: Apr 28, 2025

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

Fixed In:
16.0.0

Opened: Jan 01, 2020

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Unexpected reset upon big requests when ip is whitelisted

Impact

The request is answered with a reset.

Conditions

The request exceeds max buffer size violation is turned on. The source IP is set to never block.

Workaround

A workaround is to turn on session tracking on the same policy. You may turn off all the other properties for the session tracking (so it won't do anything).

Fix Information

Added more scenarios where unblock can't actually happen and the long request will be enforced only in the headers.
