A10 Mitigator Issue Sunday 18th August 2024 21:46:00


It seems like the current A10 software version we are running on has an issue that causes a constant reload of the device upon receiving a certain packet.

We have upgraded the software version for all mitigators now, we do not observe the issue in the new version.

Only traffic behind the mitigation was affected.

Traffic drop was observed again.

We are almost sure that we have found the issue. The issue seems to be caused by a faulty implementation of the DNS mitigation.

A certain packet with destination port 53 seems to trigger a memory leak.

We have removed all DNS mitigation configuration.
