K70415522 : TMM vulnerability CVE-2021-23035

Security Advisory Description

When an HTTP profile is configured on a virtual server, after a specific sequence of packets, chunked responses can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. (CVE-2021-23035)

Impact

Traffic is disrupted while the TMM process restarts. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the BIG-IP system. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.
