F5-K000149173: Medium severity F5 NGINX Plus vulnerability
When name-based virtual hosts are configured to share the same IP address and port combination, with TLS 1.3 and OpenSSL, a previously authenticated attacker can use session resumption to bypass client certificate authentication requirements on these servers. This vulnerability arises when TLS session tickets are used and/or the SSL session cache is used in the default virtual server and the default virtual server is performing client certificate authentication. This issue affects both the NGINX http and NGINX stream modules.
