On F5 BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.0.5, malformed TCP packets sent to a self IP address or a FastL4 virtual server may cause an interruption of service. The control plane is not exposed to this issue. This issue impacts the data plane virtual servers and self IPs.

On F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.0.5, 12.1.0-12.1.2, or 11.2.1-11.6.3.1, Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, BIG-IQ Centralized Management 5.0.0-5.4.0 or 4.6.0, BIG-IQ Cloud and Orchestration 1.0.0, or F5 iWorkflow 2.0.2-2.3.0, authenticated users granted TMOS Shell (tmsh) access can access objects on the file system which would normally be disallowed by tmsh restrictions. This allows for authenticated, low privileged attackers to exfiltrate objects on the file system which should not be allowed.

On F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.0.5, using RADIUS authentication responses from a RADIUS server with IPv6 addresses may cause TMM to crash, leading to a failover event.

On F5 BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.0.5, maliciously crafted HTTP/2 request frames can lead to denial of service. There is data plane exposure for virtual servers when the HTTP2 profile is enabled. There is no control plane exposure to this issue.

On F5 BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.0.3, 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.3.3, 11.6.1-11.6.3.1, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1, a malformed TLS handshake causes TMM to crash leading to a disruption of service. This issue is only exposed on the data plane when Proxy SSL configuration is enabled. The control plane is not impacted by this issue.

On F5 BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.0.5, when Large Receive Offload (LRO) and SYN cookies are enabled (default settings), undisclosed traffic patterns may cause TMM to restart.

On F5 BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.0.3 or 13.0.0, when authenticated administrative users execute commands in the Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), also referred to as the BIG-IP Configuration utility, restrictions on allowed commands may not be enforced.

On F5 BIG-IP 11.5.4 HF4-11.5.5, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may restart when processing a specific sequence of packets on IPv6 virtual servers.

On F5 BIG-IP versions 13.0.0 or 12.1.0 - 12.1.3.1, when a specifically configured virtual server receives traffic of an undisclosed nature, TMM will crash and take the configured failover action, potentially causing a denial of service. The configuration which exposes this issue is not common and in general does not work when enabled in previous versions of BIG-IP. Starting in 12.1.0, BIG-IP will crash if the configuration which exposes this issue is enabled and the virtual server receives non TCP traffic. With the fix of this issue, additional configuration validation logic has been added to prevent this configuration from being applied to a virtual server. There is only data plane exposure to this issue with a non-standard configuration. There is no control plane exposure.

On F5 BIG-IP PEM versions 13.0.0, 12.0.0-12.1.3.1, 11.6.0-11.6.2, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1, under certain conditions, TMM may crash when processing compressed data though a Virtual Server with an associated PEM profile using the content insertion option.

On F5 BIG-IP versions 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.3.1, 11.6.1-11.6.2, or 11.5.1-11.5.5, vCMP guests running on VIPRION 2100, 4200 and 4300 series blades cannot correctly decrypt ciphertext from established SSL sessions with small MTU.

In F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.2, 11.6.1, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1 the Apache modules apache_auth_token_mod and mod_auth_f5_auth_token.cpp allow possible unauthenticated bruteforce on the em_server_ip authorization parameter to obtain which SSL client certificates used for mutual authentication between BIG-IQ or Enterprise Manager (EM) and managed BIG-IP devices.

In some circumstances, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) does not properly handle certain malformed Websockets requests/responses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) or possible remote code execution on the F5 BIG-IP system running versions 13.0.0 - 13.1.0.3 or 12.1.0 - 12.1.3.1.

On F5 BIG-IP versions 13.0.0 - 13.1.0.3 or 12.0.0 - 12.1.3.1, TMM may restart when processing a specifically crafted page through a virtual server with an associated PEM policy that has content insertion as an action.

On F5 BIG-IP versions 13.0.0 - 13.1.0.3, attackers may be able to disrupt services on the BIG-IP system with maliciously crafted client certificate. This vulnerability affects virtual servers associated with Client SSL profile which enables the use of client certificate authentication. Client certificate authentication is not enabled by default in Client SSL profile. There is no control plane exposure.

In some circumstances, on F5 BIG-IP systems running 13.0.0, 12.1.0 - 12.1.3.1, any 11.6.x or 11.5.x release, or 11.2.1, TCP DNS profile allows excessive buffering due to lack of flow control.

On F5 BIG-IP systems running 13.0.0, 12.1.0 - 12.1.3.1, or 11.6.1 - 11.6.2, every Multipath TCP (MCTCP) connection established leaks a small amount of memory. Virtual server using TCP profile with Multipath TCP (MCTCP) feature enabled will be affected by this issue.

The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, IP implementation is vulnerable to denial of service conditions with low rates of specially modified packets

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

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 versions 11.2.1. and greater, unrestricted Snapshot File Access allows BIG-IP system's user with any role, including Guest Role, to have access and download previously generated and available snapshot files on the BIG-IP configuration utility such as QKView and TCPDumps.
