## Symptoms

- * */var/log/messages* on the Security Gateway has multiple lines with the following error:  
  `
  "uc_log_suppression_set_entry: Failed storing log data in log suppression table!"`
* The kernel table *uc_log_suppression_data* is full on the Security Gateway.  
* The output of *'fw tab -t uc_log_suppression_data -s'* in correlation to the output of *'fw tab -t uc_log_suppression_data -u \| grep limit'* shows that the size is larger than the limit.
* Entries in uc_incidents and uc_log_suppression_data are far apart: \[Expert@FW1:0\]# fw tab -t uc_log_suppression_data -s HOST NAME ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS localhost uc_log_suppression_data 313 178512 300000 0 \[Expert@FW1:0\]# fw tab -t uc_incidents -s HOST NAME ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS localhost uc_incidents 307 33 399 0

## Cause

In cases where we should not have usercheck redirect (for example - protocol is not valid for redirection) entries are not added to uc_incidents but are still added to uc_log_suppression_data. This causes a memory leak since entries in uc_log_suppression_data should be freed by uc_incidents entries.
