Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: Dec 21, 2017
Security Advisory Description
In some circumstances, APM tunneled VPN flows can cause a VPN/PPP connflow to
be prematurely freed or cause TMM to stop responding with a "flow not in use"
assertion. An attacker may be able to disrupt traffic or cause the BIG-IP
system to fail over to another device in the device group. (CVE-2017-6129)
Impact
An attacker may be able to disrupt traffic or cause the BIG-IP system to fail
over to another device in the device group.
Note: BIG-IP and BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) systems that are licensed with the
BIG-IP LTM module include a free perpetual license for the BIG-IP APM Lite
module. The BIG-IP LTM module is not affected by this vulnerability; however,
BIG-IP LTM systems provisioned with the BIG-IP APM Lite module may be
vulnerable. For more information about the BIG-IP APM Lite perpetual license,
refer to K15854: BIG-IP APM Lite.
