Improper invalidation for page table updates by a virtual guest operating system for multiple Intel® Processors may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service of the host system via local access. (CVE-2018-12207)
Impact
A privileged guest user may use this flaw to induce a hardware Machine Check Error (MCE) that halts the host processor and resultsin a denial-of-service (DoS) scenario.
This is a hardware issue and requires kernel updates to remediate.
This issue impacts all BIG-IP platforms using the following Intel processor families :
Xeon
Pentium Gold
Core X-series
Core i
Celeron G
The following BIG-IP platforms are vulnerable :
BIG-IP 2000s, 2200s, 4000s, 4200v, 5000s, 5050s, 5200v,5250v, 5250v fips, 7000s, 7200v , 7200v FIPS , 7250v series
