Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
In BIG-IP PEM versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, when processing Capabilities-Exchange-Answer (CEA) packets with certain attributes from the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) server, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may generate a core file and restart.
On BIG-IP 12.1.0-12.1.5, the TMM process may produce a core file in some cases when Ram Cache incorrectly optimizes stored data resulting in memory errors.
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.

Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP 15.1.0-15.1.0.5 and 14.1.0-14.1.3, crafted TLS request to the BIG-IP management interface via port 443 can cause high (~100%) CPU utilization by the httpd daemon.

This issue is only exposed on the data plane when Proxy SSL configuration is enabled. The control plane is not impacted by this issue.
ModSecurity 3.x through 3.0.5 mishandles excessively nested JSON objects. Crafted JSON objects with nesting tens-of-thousands deep could result in the web server being unable to service legitimate requests. Even a moderately large (e.g., 300KB) HTTP request can occupy one of the limited NGINX worker processes for minutes and consume almost all of the available CPU on the machine. Modsecurity 2 is similarly vulnerable: the affected versions include 2.8.0 through 2.9.4.
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.
The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) in F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, APM, ASM, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, PSM, and WebSafe 11.6.0 before 11.6.0 HF6, 11.5.0 before 11.5.3 HF2, and 11.3.0 before 11.4.1 HF10 may suffer from a memory leak while handling certain types of TCP traffic.
