Global Protect Fills disk until machine crashes; MacOS Sequoia

Scott.Knaffla — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 15:15:16 GMT

Running GP 6.3.2-525 on MacOS Sequoia 15.2. GP re-downloads com.paloaltonetworks.GlobalProtect.client.extension.systemextension in a folder in /Library/SystemExtensions/.staging

It contains about a 6MB files, but it continuously creates new directories and downloads until the filesystem is full.

This exact bug also happened with GP 6.2.6-838 on MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1.

Hi @Scott.Knaffla ,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I don't see a current known issue for this on 6.3.0. Id recommend gathering logs and sharing with the CSP. Also, I see the preferred release is 6.3.0. If rolling back is feasible, I would get to the preferred release to see if behavior is similar.
