Packet Filtering is enabled on virtual servers and possibly self IP
addresses, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(Traffic Management Microkernel restart) and possibly have unspecified
other impact via crafted network traffic. (CVE-2016-5022)

Impact

The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may restart and temporarily
fail to process traffic when Packet Filtering is enabled. Packet
Filtering is disabled, by default, on the BIG-IP system. When Packet
Filtering is enabled, there is additional risk if the
tm.acceptipoptions database variable is also enabled.");
