Fabric OS 8.0.1 Release Notes v1.0 Limitations and Restrictions: Defects
Page 90 of 107
Symptom: When total flow count reaches the maximum but IT and ITL
counts are less than their respective maximum limits and there are idle
flows, flow aging may not happen.
Condition: Aging is done based on IT and ITL usage counts. It can so
happen both IT and ITL counts are well under the limits but total flow
count in the system can exceed the aging threshold. In this case, aging will
not happen and no new IT and ITL can get created.
Recovery: Use a flow reset to clear the flows and restart the monitoring.

Symptom: CVE-2015-7575 TLS 1.2 Transcript Collision attacks against MD5
in key exchange protocol (SLOTH)
Condition: Only cryptographic software using TLS 1.2 is affected.This man-
in-the-middle attacker able to force a TLS connection to use the MD5 hash
function could use this flaw to conduct collision attacks to impersonate a
TLS server or an authenticated TLS client
Recovery: Due to these attacks, most cryptographic software was patched
to stop accepting MD5 certificates
