On BIG-IP AFM version 16.x before 16.1.0, 15.1.x before 15.1.4.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.2, and all versions of 13.1.x, when the IPsec application layer gateway (ALG) logging profile is configured on an IPsec ALG virtual server, undisclosed IPsec traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP AFM version 16.x before 16.1.0, 15.1.x before 15.1.5, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.5, and all versions of 13.1.x, when global AFM SYN cookie protection (TCP Half Open flood vector) is activated in the AFM Device Dos or DOS profile, certain types of TCP connections will fail. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On BIG-IP version 16.x before 16.1.0, 15.1.x before 15.1.4.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.4, and all versions of 13.1.x, 12.1.x, and 11.6.x, when a FastL4 profile is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed traffic can cause an increase in memory resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
On version 16.1.x before 16.1.2, 15.1.x before 15.1.4.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.5, and all versions of 13.1.x, when the BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) uses the ixlv driver (which is used in SR-IOV mode and requires Intel X710/XL710/XXV710 family of network adapters on the Hypervisor) and TCP Segmentation Offload configuration is enabled, undisclosed requests may cause an increase in CPU resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
The Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Protocol allows remote attackers (from the client side) to send arbitrary numbers that are actually not public keys, and trigger expensive server-side DHE modular-exponentiation calculations, aka a D(HE)at or D(HE)ater attack. The client needs very little CPU resources and network bandwidth. The attack may be more disruptive in cases where a client can require a server to select its largest supported key size. The basic attack scenario is that the client must claim that it can only communicate with DHE, and the server must be configured to allow DHE.
