Security Advisory Description
A malformed Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshake causes the Traffic
Management Microkernel (TMM) to stop responding, leading to a disruption of
service. This issue is only exposed on the data plane when a Proxy SSL
configuration is enabled. The control plane is not impacted by this issue.
(CVE-2018-5513)
Impact
The BIG-IP system may temporarily fail to process traffic as it recovers from a
TMM restart, and devices configured as a high availability (HA) pair may fail
over.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 695901 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.
To determine if your product and version have been evaluated for this
vulnerability, refer to the Applies to (see versions) box. To determine if your
release is known to be vulnerable, the components or features that are affected
by the vulnerability, and for information about releases or hotfixes that

^1 The CVSSv3 score link takes you to a resource outside of AskF5, and it is
possible that the document may be removed without our knowledge.
^2 The specified products contain the affected code. However, F5 identifies the
vulnerability status as Not vulnerable because the attacker cannot exploit the
code in default, standard, or recommended configurations.
Security Advisory Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version
than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version,
then no upgrade candidate currently exists.
