K24401914:DNS vulnerability CVE-2019-6612
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 01 May, 2019
Latest Publication Date: 29 May, 2019
Security Advisory Description
On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and
11.5.2-11.5.8, DNS query TCP connections that are aborted before receiving a
response from a DNS cache may cause TMM to restart. (CVE-2019-6612)
Impact
A BIG-IP virtual server associated with a TCP and DNS profile that has DNS
Cache enabled will be affected by this vulnerability. The affected BIG-IP
system temporarily fails to process traffic as it recovers from a Traffic
Management Microkernel (TMM) restart, and devices configured in a device group
may fail over.
