Symptoms

You are performing normal operations and in the alert log you encounter the below error messages:

ORA-03137: TTC protocol internal error : [12209] [70] [] [] [] [] [] []
Exception [type: SIGSEGV, Address not mapped to object] [ADDR:0x0] [PC:0x1BF955D, kxsOpenACursor()+1087] [flags: 0x0, count: 1]
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [kxsOpenACursor()+1087] [SIGSEGV] [ADDR:0x0] [PC:0x1BF955D] [Address not mapped to object] []
ORA-03137: TTC protocol internal error : [12209] [70] [] [] [] [] [] []


From the trace file , you might see the following stack:

skdstdst <- ksedst1 <- ksedst <- dbkedDefDump <- ksedmp <- ssexhd <- pthread_sighandle <- r_rt <- 0000002A975161A0 <- r_rt <- kxsOpenACursor <- opiopr <- opikpr <- opiodr <- PGOSF141_rpidrus <- skgmstack <- rpiswu2 <- kprball <- kktextrg <- kkttrex <- kktexeevt0 <- opiodr <- ttcpip <- opitsk <- opiino <- opiodr <- opidrv <- sou2o <- opimai_real <- ssthrdmain <- main <- libc_start_main <- start



Its also noticed that the ORA-7445 usually occurs shortly after killing a blocking session .

e.g. from the process state and session state in the trace file


PROCESS STATE
-------------
Process global information:
process: 0x16f1db9c68, call: 0x159058f1c0, xact: (nil), curses: 0x1702f37fe8, usrses: 0x1702f37fe8

(process) Oracle pid:<>, ser:<>, calls cur/top: 0x159058f1c0/0x15409c0cd8


On search for the session information for which the owner is 0x16f1db9c68 , you will find the session was killed.
