The Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Protocol allows remote attackers (from the client side) to send arbitrary numbers that are actually not public keys, and trigger expensive server-side DHE modular-exponentiation calculations, aka a D(HE)at or D(HE)ater attack. The client needs very little CPU resources and network bandwidth. The attack may be more disruptive in cases where a client can require a server to select its largest supported key size. The basic attack scenario is that the client must claim that it can only communicate with DHE, and the server must be configured to allow DHE.

The resolver in nginx before 1.8.1 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and worker process crash) via a crafted UDP DNS response.

On the BIG-IP 2000s, 2200s, 4000s, 4200v, i5600, i5800, i7600, i7800, i10600,i10800, and VIPRION 4450 blades, running version 11.5.0, 11.5.1, 11.5.2, 11.5.3, 11.5.4, 11.6.0, 11.6.1, 12.0.0, 12.1.0, 12.1.1 or 12.1.2 of BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, ASM, DNS, GTM or PEM, an undisclosed sequence of packets sent to Virtual Servers with client or server SSL profiles may cause disruption of data plane services.

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.

In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM and Websafe software version 13.0.0, 12.0.0 to 12.1.2 and 11.5.1 to 11.6.1, under limited circumstances connections handled by a Virtual Server with an associated SOCKS profile may not be properly cleaned up, potentially leading to resource starvation. Connections may be left in the connection table which then can only be removed by restarting TMM. Over time this may lead to the BIG-IP being unable to process further connections.

In F5 BIG-IP 12.1.0 through 12.1.2, specific websocket traffic patterns may cause a disruption of service for virtual servers configured to use the websocket profile.

This issue affects only VIPRION hosts with two or more blades installed. Single-blade VIPRION hosts are not affected.

In BIG-IP Advanced WAF and FPS versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, and 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, under some circumstances, certain format client-side alerts sent to the BIG-IP virtual server configured with DataSafe may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart, resulting in a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

On versions 15.0.0-15.1.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, when the BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) is configured with VLAN groups and there are devices configured with OSPF connected to it, the Network Device Abstraction Layer (NDAL) Interfaces can lock up and in turn disrupting the communication between the mcpd and tmm processes.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1.1 and 14.1.0-14.1.2.2, while processing specifically crafted traffic using the default 'xnet' driver, Virtual Edition instances hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) may experience a TMM restart.

In BIG-IP versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.4, 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, and 14.1.0-14.1.2.6, a BIG-IP virtual server with a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) ALG profile, parsing SIP messages that contain a multi-part MIME payload with certain boundary strings can cause TMM to free memory to the wrong cache.
