Description:
Bug ID 1360005: If service times out, the PINGACCESS filter may not release context in ping_access_agent ... Last Modified: Apr 26, 2024 ... Symptoms ... TMM forwards client request to ping_access_agent for processing. ... Each request forwarded to ping_access_agent creates a request-specific context within ping_access_agent. ... When the request processing is completed, this context must be freed, this does occur when the request processing reaches a normal conclusion. ... If the client connection in TMM fails before the request is fully processed, it is TMM's responsibility to notify ping_access_agent to free the context associated with the connection. ... If TMM fails to notify, the context is "orphaned" and will never be freed, thus causing ping_access_agent to grow over time as more contexts are orphaned. ... Impact ... Pingaccess agent leaks memory over the period of time. ... Conditions
