On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.0.1.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) might stop responding after the total number of diameter connections and pending messages on a single virtual server has reached 32K.

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 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. Under rare conditions attackers with access to the management interface could eventually deplete memory on the system.

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.

In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, PSM, WebAccelerator, and WebSafe 11.6.1 HF1, 12.0.0 HF3, 12.0.0 HF4, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.2, undisclosed traffic patterns received while software SYN cookie protection is engaged may cause a disruption of service to the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) on specific platforms and configurations.

F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, Websafe software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.2, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1 are vulnerable to a denial of service attack when the MPTCP option is enabled on a virtual server. Data plane is vulnerable when using the MPTCP option of a TCP profile. There is no control plane exposure. An attacker may be able to disrupt services by causing TMM to restart hence temporarily failing to process traffic.

In F5 BIG-IP AAM and PEM software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.1, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.4.1 to 11.5.4, a remote attacker may create maliciously crafted HTTP request to cause Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart and temporarily fail to process traffic. This issue is exposed on virtual servers using a Policy Enforcement profile or a Web Acceleration profile. Systems that do not have BIG-IP AAM module provisioned are not vulnerable. The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may restart and temporarily fail to process traffic. Systems that do not have BIG-IP AAM or PEM module provisioned are not vulnerable.

In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, APM, ASM, Link Controller, PEM, and WebSafe 12.1.0 through 12.1.2, certain values in a TLS abbreviated handshake when using a client SSL profile with the Session Ticket option enabled may cause disruption of service to the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM).

In versions 13.0.0, 12.0.0-12.1.3, or 11.6.0-11.6.2, an F5 BIG-IP virtual server using the URL categorization feature may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to produce a core file when it receives malformed URLs during categorization.

In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, Websafe software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.2, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.4.0 to 11.5.4, 11.2.1, in some cases TMM may crash when processing TCP traffic. This vulnerability affects TMM via a virtual server configured with TCP profile. Traffic processing is disrupted while Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) restarts. If the affected BIG-IP system is configured to be part of a device group, it will trigger a failover to the peer device.

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.

In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM and WebSafe software version 13.0.0 and 12.0.0 - 12.1.2, undisclosed traffic patterns sent to BIG-IP virtual servers, with the TCP Fast Open and Tail Loss Probe options enabled in the associated TCP profile, may cause a disruption of service to the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM).

In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, APM, ASM, Link Controller, PEM, PSM software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.2, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.4.0 to 11.5.4, when a virtual server uses the standard configuration of HTTP/2 or SPDY profile with Client SSL profile, and the client initiates a number of concurrent streams beyond the advertised limit can cause a disruption of service. Remote client initiating stream beyond the advertised limit can cause a disruption of service. The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) data plane is exposed to this issue; the control plane is not exposed.

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 versions 15.0.0-15.0.1 and 14.0.0-14.1.2, when the BIG-IP is configured in HTTP/2 Full Proxy mode, specifically crafted requests may cause a disruption of service provided by the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM).

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 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3.6, 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, under certain conditions, hardware systems with a High-Speed Bridge and using non-default Layer 2 forwarding configurations may experience a lockup of the High-Speed Bridge.

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.

In NGINX Unit before version 1.34.2 with the Java Language Module in use, undisclosed requests can lead to an infinite loop and cause an increase in CPU resource utilization. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a degradation that can lead to a limited denial-of-service (DoS).  There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e.

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commits 967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 and 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363.

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.

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.

On F5 BIG-IP 16.1.x versions prior to 16.1.2.2, when the stream profile 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
