On F5 SSL Orchestrator 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, on rare occasions, specific to a certain race condition, TMM may restart when SSL Forward Proxy enforces the bypass action for an SSL Orchestrator transparent virtual server with SNAT enabled.
On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.6.3.2, 12.1.3.4-12.1.3.7, 13.0.0 HF1-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) does not protect against multiple zero length DATA_FINs in the reassembly queue, which can lead to an infinite loop in some circumstances.
On BIG-IP 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.0.0-13.1.2, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, 11.5.2-11.6.4, when processing authentication attempts for control-plane users MCPD leaks a small amount of memory.

On BIG-IP 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, undisclosed SSL traffic to a virtual server configured with a Client SSL profile may cause TMM to fail and restart. The Client SSL profile must have session tickets enabled and use DHE cipher suites to be affected. This only impacts the data plane, there is no impact to the control plane.
On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3, 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, under certain conditions, the snmpd daemon may leak memory on a multi-blade BIG-IP vCMP guest when processing authorized SNMP requests.

In F5 BIG-IP systems 12.1.0 - 12.1.2, malicious requests made to virtual servers with an HTTP profile can cause the TMM to restart. The issue is exposed with BIG-IP APM profiles, regardless of settings. The issue is also exposed with the non-default "Normalize URI" configuration options used in iRules and/or BIG-IP LTM policies. An attacker may be able to disrupt traffic or cause the BIG-IP system to fail over to another device in the device group.
An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to disrupt services on F5 BIG-IP 11.4.1 - 11.5.4 devices with maliciously crafted network traffic. This vulnerability affects virtual servers associated with TCP profiles when the BIG-IP system's tm.tcpprogressive db variable value is set to non-default setting "enabled". The default value for the tm.tcpprogressive db variable is "negotiate". An attacker may be able to disrupt traffic or cause the BIG-IP system to fail over to another device in the device group.

Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP versions 13.1.3.4-13.1.3.6 and 12.1.5.2, if the tmm.http.rfc.enforcement BigDB key is enabled in a BIG-IP system, or the Bad host header value is checked in the AFM HTTP security profile associated with a virtual server, in rare instances, a specific sequence of malicious requests may cause TMM to restart. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) are not evaluated.
njs through 0.3.3, used in NGINX, has a heap-based buffer over-read in nxt_vsprintf in nxt/nxt_sprintf.c during error handling, as demonstrated by an njs_regexp_literal call that leads to an njs_parser_lexer_error call and then an njs_parser_scope_error call.

The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size.
When F5 BIG-IP ASM 13.0.0-13.1.0.1, 12.1.0-12.1.3.5, 11.6.0-11.6.3.1, or 11.5.1-11.5.6 is processing HTTP requests, an unusually large number of parameters can cause excessive CPU usage in the BIG-IP ASM bd process.
Linux kernel versions 4.9+ can be forced to make very expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for every incoming packet which can lead to a denial of service.
The resolver in nginx before 1.8.1 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 does not properly limit CNAME resolution, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker process resource consumption) via vectors related to arbitrary name resolution.

This issue affects nginx compiled with the ngx_http_v2_module (not compiled by default) if the 'http2' option of the 'listen' directive is used in a configuration file.
In BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.0.0.2 or 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, iControl and TMSH usage by authenticated users may leak a small amount of memory when executing commands
The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.
nginx before versions 1.15.6, 1.14.1 has a vulnerability in the ngx_http_mp4_module, which might allow an attacker to cause infinite loop in a worker process, cause a worker process crash, or might result in worker process memory disclosure by using a specially crafted mp4 file. The issue only affects nginx if it is built with the ngx_http_mp4_module (the module is not built by default) and the .mp4. directive is used in the configuration file. Further, the attack is only possible if an attacker is able to trigger processing of a specially crafted mp4 file with the ngx_http_mp4_module.
