K43625118:TMM vulnerability CVE-2018-15317
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 31 Oct, 2018
Latest Publication Date: 10 Aug, 2019
Security Advisory Description
In BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, 13.0.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, and
11.2.1-11.6.3.2, an attacker sending specially crafted SSL records to a SSL
Virtual Server will cause corruption in the SSL data structures leading to
intermittent decrypt BAD_RECORD_MAC errors. Clients will be unable to access
the application load balanced by a virtual server with an SSL profile until tmm
is restarted. (CVE-2018-15317)
Impact
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (DoS) on
the BIG-IP system.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 715923 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.
Additionally, BIG-IP iHealth may list Heuristic H43625118 on the Diagnostics >
Identified > High page.

^1The CVSSv3 score link takes you to a resource outside of AskF5, and it is
possible that the document may be removed without our knowledge.
^2The 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.
Mitigation
If clients are unable to access the application loadbalanced by a virtual
server with an SSL profile due to BAD_RECORD_MAC errors, you can restart the
Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM), or if the affected device is in a device
group you can fail over to the next available device and restart TMM on the
affected device. To do so, perform one of the following procedures:
o Restarting TMM
o Failing over to the next available device in the device group
Restarting TMM
Impact of action: This procedure requires you to restart the TMM, which
interrupts traffic processing on the BIG-IP system. If you are using a self-IP
address to connect to the CLI, you will be disconnected.
1. Log in to the TMOS Shell (tmsh) by typing the following command:
tmsh
2. Restart TMM by typing the following command:
restart /sys service tmm
Failing over to the next available device in the device group
Impact of action: Traffic is briefly interrupted while a peer device takes over
the active role. If the upstream switch or router cannot quickly update either
the Content Addressable Memory (CAM) table or Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
for the new MAC address, service may be disrupted. The F5 MAC masquerade
feature can help with this condition. For more information about MAC
Masquerade, refer to K13502: Configuring MAC masquerade (11.x - 14.x).
1. Log in to the Configuration utility of the affected device.
2. Verify that an available peer device is the traffic group's Next Active
Device by navigating to Device Management > Traffic Groups.
3. Navigate to Device Management > Devices and select the local system
designated with Self.
4. Click Force to Standby.
The new BIG-IP system should change to active mode.
5. Restart TMM on the affected device that is now in the standby role by
performing the previous Restarting TMM procedure.
