BIG-IP DNS profile vulnerability

On BIG-IP versions 17.0.x before 17.0.0.2, 16.1.x before 16.1.3.3, 15.1.x before 15.1.8.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.5.3, and all version of 13.1.x, when a DNS profile with the Rapid Response Mode setting enabled is configured on a virtual server with hardware SYN cookies enabled, undisclosed requests cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

On impacted versions and platforms the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) system integrity check cannot detect modifications to specific system components. This issue only impacts specific engineering hotfixes and platforms. NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect any of the BIG-IP major, minor or maintenance releases you obtained from downloads.f5.com. The affected Engineering Hotfix builds are as follows: Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.2.0.45.4-ENG Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.2.0.62.4-ENG

Platform dependent weakness. This issue only impacts iSeries platforms. On these platforms, in BIG-IP (LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, FPS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator) versions 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.3, and 12.1.1 HF2-12.1.4, the secureKeyCapable attribute was not set which causes secure vault to not use the F5 hardware support to store the unit key. Instead the unit key is stored in plaintext on disk as would be the case for Z100 systems. Additionally this causes the unit key to be stored in UCS files taken on these platforms.

Logic issue in the subsystem for Intel(R) SPS before versions SPS_E5_04.01.04.275.0, SPS_SoC-X_04.00.04.100.0 and SPS_SoC-A_04.00.04.191.0 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.
