When a highly-privileged, authenticated attacker attempts to initialize the rSeries FIPS module using a password with special shell metacharacters, arbitrary system commands may be executed, and the FIPS hardware security module (HSM) may fail to initialize. A successful exploit can allow the attacker to cross a security boundary. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. This issue may occur when a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) 1.2 virtual server is enabled with a Server SSL profile that is configured with a certificate, key, and the SSL Sign Hash set to ANY, and the backend server is enabled with DTLS 1.2 and client authentication. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When a virtual server, network address translation (NAT) object, or secure network address translation (SNAT) object uses the embedded Packet Velocity Acceleration (ePVA) feature, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. To determine which BIG-IP platforms have an ePVA chip refer to K12837: Overview of the ePVA feature https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K12837 . Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When a classification profile is configured on a virtual server without an HTTP or HTTP/2 profile, undisclosed requests can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When the Allowed IP Addresses feature is configured on the F5OS-C partition control plane, undisclosed traffic can cause multiple containers to terminate.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When an iRule is configured on a virtual server via the declarative API, upon re-instantiation, the cleanup process can cause an increase in the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) memory resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP Next CNF, BIG-IP Next SPK, and BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes systems, repeated undisclosed API calls can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator is enabled, 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.
When a BIG-IP Advanced WAF or ASM security policy is configured with a URL greater than 1024 characters in length for the Data Guard Protection Enforcement setting, either manually or through the automatic Policy Builder, the bd process can terminate repeatedly. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP systems, undisclosed traffic can cause data corruption and unauthorized data modification in protocols which do not have message integrity protection. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator explicit forward proxy is configured on a virtual server and the proxy connect feature is enabled, undisclosed traffic may cause memory corruption. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When DNS cache is configured on a BIG-IP or BIG-IP Next CNF virtual server, undisclosed DNS queries can cause an increase in memory resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When SNMP is configured on F5OS Appliance and Chassis systems, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in SNMP memory resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When an iRule containing the HTTP::respond command is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in memory resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When the BIG-IP Advanced WAF and ASM security policy and a server-side HTTP/2 profile are configured on a 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.
When a TCP profile with Multipath TCP (MPTCP) enabled is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed traffic along with conditions beyond the attacker's control can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Under undisclosed traffic conditions along with conditions beyond the attacker's control, hardware systems with a High-Speed Bridge (HSB) may experience a lockup of the HSB.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When Diffie-Hellman (DH) group Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Brainpool curves are configured in an SSL profile's Cipher Rule or Cipher Group, and that profile is applied to a 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.
When a BIG-IP AFM denial-of-service (DoS) protection profile is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When BIG-IP Advanced WAF is configured on a virtual server with Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) protection or when an NGINX server is configured with App Protect Bot Defense, undisclosed requests can disrupt new client requests. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
