During the removal process the timeout of a flow should be set to 3 seconds and consequentially the flow should be removed shortly after. Due to a race condition occurring when setting the timeout there is a chance (the exact conditions are outside the attackers control) that the timeout is instead set to a very high value of larger than 10,000 seconds: user@host> show security flow session | match timeout Session ID: 98784248524, Policy name: PROD-FLOW/4, HA State: Active, Timeout…
