Fixed an intermittent issue where firewall restarted unexpectedly while processing zip files.

(VM-Series firewalls in Azure with Accelerated Networking and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) enabled) Fixed an issue where firewalls experienced increasing interface receive errors, which led to intermittent traffic impact and application downtime.

Fixed an issue where commits intermittently failed on some Prisma Access nodes with the error message client pppoed phase 1 failure.

Fixed an issue where SWG Explicit Proxy Kerberos authentication bypass did not occur for some URLs that matched a configured URL category.

Fixed an issue where SD-WAN SaaS monitoring for HTTPS URLs continuously flapped, which caused frequent traffic shifting between ISPs. This occurred due to the firewall unexpectedly hitting resource limits for monitoring.

(PA-5450 firewalls and PA-7000 Series firewalls with 100G NPCs only) Fixed an issue where intermittent packet loss occurred when traversing the dataplane after upgrading the firewall. This occurred when a dataplane HA interface was configured in an environment where Slot 1 was unpopulated, which resulted in a wildcard entry being created within the QMAP table.

Fixed an issue where multiple EDL fetches were queued and did not complete.

Fixed an issue where the configd process stopped responding after pushing configuration changes from Panorama to the firewall.

Fixed an issue where the useridd process became unresponsive and restarted when attempting to dump the Host Information Profile (HIP) database via CLI while the system was actively processing HIP reports. This was caused by a lock contention. With this fix, the process now operates as expected under these conditions.

Fixed an issue where the firewall was unable to activate GlobalProtect client software and displayed SW LIMIT messages related to max-profiles and unsupported major and minor versions in the downgrade list, which prevented successful software installation.

Fixed an issue where a memory leak related to the useridd process on the passive device led to an OOM condition.

Fixed an issue where multiple firewalls experienced high management CPU utilization after upgrading to an affected release due to repeated index regeneration occurring every 15 minutes, which caused periodic CPU spikes above 90%.
