Worked on enhancing the reliability of MACsec session management in the sonic-net/sonic-swss repository, focusing on system programming and network device management using C++. Addressed a critical memory corruption issue that occurred during MACsec profile updates or when toggling MACsec on ports. The solution involved implementing a memory-safe session lifecycle, ensuring that existing MACsec sessions were properly finalized before new ones were created. This approach prevented data loss and reduced the risk of outages during security configuration changes. The work improved the stability of MACsec-enabled ports, contributing to more robust and dependable network security operations within the codebase.

June 2025 focused on strengthening MACsec reliability in sonic-swss: Implemented a memory-safe session lifecycle for MACsec during port updates. This fix prevents memory corruption and data loss when MACsec profiles are replaced or ports are toggled, by ensuring the existing session is properly finalized before creating a new one. Commit 7106cc0aaa5be268034834274e012026d3f6a61c ('Fixing macsecmgrd memory corruption') addresses this issue. Impact: higher reliability of MACsec-enabled ports, reduced risk of outages during security configuration changes, and improved customer trust.
