When BIG-IP AFM is provisioned with IPS module enabled and protocol inspection profile is configured on a virtual server or firewall rule or policy, undisclosed traffic can cause an increase in CPU resource utilization.
For unspecified traffic patterns, BIG-IP AFM IPS engine may spend an excessive amount of time matching the traffic against signatures, resulting in Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) restarting and traffic disruption.
When BIG-IP AFM Device DoS or DoS profile is configured with NXDOMAIN attack vector and bad actor detection, undisclosed queries can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.
For unspecified traffic patterns, BIG-IP AFM IPS engine may spend an excessive amount of time matching the traffic against signatures, resulting in Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) restarting and traffic disruption.
When a BIG-IP AFM NAT policy with a destination NAT rule is configured on a FastL4 virtual server, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.
On versions 17.0.x before 17.0.0.2, 16.1.x before 16.1.3.3, 15.1.x before 15.1.8, 14.1.x before 14.1.5.3, and all versions of 13.1.x, when a BIG-IP AFM NAT policy with a destination NAT rule is configured on a FastL4 virtual server, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP versions 11.6.0-11.6.2 (fixed in 11.6.2 HF1), 12.0.0-12.1.2 HF1 (fixed in 12.1.2 HF2), or 13.0.0-13.0.0 HF2 (fixed in 13.0.0 HF3) a virtual server configured with a Client SSL profile may be vulnerable to an Adaptive Chosen Ciphertext attack (AKA Bleichenbacher attack) against RSA, which when exploited, may result in plaintext recovery of encrypted messages and/or a Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack, despite the attacker not having gained access to the server's private key itself, aka a ROBOT attack.
When BIG-IP AFM is provisioned with IPS module enabled and protocol inspection profile is configured on a virtual server or firewall rule or policy, undisclosed traffic can cause an increase in CPU resource utilization.
In BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Link Controller, PEM, and WebSafe software 12.0.0 to 12.1.1, in some cases the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may crash when processing fragmented packets. This vulnerability affects TMM through a virtual server configured with a FastL4 profile. Traffic processing is disrupted while TMM restarts. If the affected BIG-IP system is configured as part of a device group, it will trigger a failover to the peer device.
