14 Patch Release Note
Patch 86231-10 for Software Release 2.3.1
C613-10328-00 REV J
A feature has been added that makes pings pass from the source IP address
of the public interface to the IP address on the private interface in the
firewall.
Packets traversing in and out of the same public firewall interface were
sometimes blocked. The firewall should only control packets passing
between a public and a private interface. This issue has been resolved.
A buffer leak was associated with the HTTP server. This issue has been
resolved.
Multicast counters were not incrementing correctly. This issue has been
resolved.
This patch supersedes PCRs 02073, 02081, 02086 and 02105. In addition to
enhancements in the preceding PCRs, this PCR now also resolves the
following issues:
• If a compaction was started within 60ms of a file write commencing, the
file being written was placed in the wrong location in the file system.
This led to file corruption during subsequent compactions.
• If a file load occurred during compaction, an incomplete copy of the file
was loaded. The load also put the file into the wrong part of the file
system once the compaction had moved beyond the part of the file that
had been loaded.
• A fatal error occurred during compaction if a file was marked as deleted
when it was being transferred.
• Sometimes during compaction when the file system was erasing blocks
belonging to deleted files, one of the files was transferred rather than
deleted. However, its directory entry was deleted, so the file was not
visible with a SHOW FILE command but was visible with a SHOW
FFILE command.
• During compaction if the amount of free space was less than two erase
blocks (including the "spare" erase block), the file system erroneously
reported that a large amount of space was available for a new file due
to an underflow problem. When a new file was written it would corrupt
existing data.
• If the file system was completely full and the deletion of a single file led
to a compaction, the file system reported that it was continually
compacting. This was because it was repeatedly searching through a
linked list of file headers.
• A byte of data from FLASH was incorrectly returning the value 0xFF.
• When a file was renamed using upper case letters, the renamed file did
not appear in the file directory but did appear in FLASH. Also, if a
SHOW FFILE CHECK command was executed after renaming the file,
the file system would appear to hang. All file names must now be lower
case.
