When running a Gaia API request that results in multiple configuration changes, only the first change may be applied initially. The subsequent changes are not enforced until another change triggers re-processing.

Cluster failover may occur when the ROUTED process due to a memory leak unexpectedly exits with a core dump file generated.

In scenarios where numerous BGP peers are configured with the "multihop" option enabled, combined with short "keepalive" settings and a large number of routes being received from each peer, the ROUTED process may experience high CPU utilization.

Enabling rfc1583-compatibility via Clish fails with "CLINFR0329 Invalid command:'set ospf instance default rfc1583-compatibility on".

BGP peers may experience timeouts when these conditions occur simultaneously:

• The network has more than 100 BGP peers configured,

• The routing table contains tens of thousands of routes,

• BGP tracing is enabled,

• The BGP timers (such as keepalive and hold timers) are reduced from their default values, making the peers more sensitive to delays or congestion.

The FWK process crashes sporadically, causing impact on traffic due to an issue related to the decryption of fragmented traffic.

VPN connectivity may be unstable when IPv6 and VPN star communities are configured.

When using the "fw tab" command to view the IKE_SA_table, the output shows a column containing the IP addresses that are not meant to be displayed while the correct IP addresses are not printed.

In a Site to Site VPN, following an update, the Security Gateway may erroneously transmit an invalid IKE SPI to its peer. Consequently, during the rekey process, the tunnel fails due to the "invalid IKE SPI" error.

When the DAIP Gateway public IP address occasionally changes, the connected Security Gateway fails to update the new IP address and continues responding to the old IP address, causing communication issues.

A low-severity security vulnerability may exist when establishing an HTTPS connection to the Security Gateway.

When selecting to filter machines by infection name in SmartEndpoint Reporting > Anti-Malware > Top infections, the listed computers do not match the displayed numbers.

When attempting a one-time login for a migrated client in the Infinity Portal, the request fails with "400 error" caused by duplicate logon_name and domain_name entries in the database, preventing password generation from the Web interface.

When the SIP Multi-core feature is enabled, and a SIP over UDP rule with one-way calls (only outgoing calls, for example) is defined, the returned traffic is dropped. Refer to sk181525.

The "reboot -b all" command in gClish may fail. The environment hangs or reboots partially (only some of the members).

An additional reboot may be performed on Maestro Security Gateway because of the database entry (otlp) which should not be pulled from SMO. This entry is updated locally on each member via self-update functionality and, therefore, may differ between members.

The Gaia gClish command "installer verify CPUSE Package ID member_ids all" fails with "Quitting due to time-out" on a Scalable Platform Security Group. Refer to sk181674.

On a Security Group with MDPS enabled:

• The "asg perf" command on a Security Group does not show any output - the Gaia OS prompt appears immediately after entering the command and pressing the Enter key.

• When running the "mac_verifier" and other commands on a Security Group, the output may show the error message "mount of /sys failed: device or resource busy".

• The "distutil verify -v" command on a Security Group returns "verification failed".

After installing this Take, when MDPS plane separation is enabled, in the context of the Management plane, the directory /sys/class/net/ now shows interfaces that belong to the Data plane, although it should show interfaces that belong to the Management plane.

Refer to sk182076.
