"In versions 13.0.0, 12.0.0-12.1.3, or 11.6.0-11.6.2, an F5 BIG-IP
virtual server using the URL categorization feature may cause the
Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to produce a core file when it
receives malformed URLs during categorization. (CVE-2017-6169).

Impact

An attacker may be able to disrupt traffic or cause the BIG-IP system
to fail over to another device in the device group.

This vulnerabilityaffects BIG-IP systems withthe following
configuration :

The BIG-IP system has Policy Enforcement Manager (PEM) provisioned.

The URL categorization feature is licensed on the system.

One or more virtual servers use URL categorization throughone of the
following: An iRule

A Centralized Policy Matching (CPM)rule.

A BIG-IP PEMpolicy.

One or more virtual servers processmalformed URL categorization input.

Note : The URL categorization feature enables you to enforce policies
configured as part of the subscriber profile based on the URL category
type; the URL categorization is obtained by querying an internal
repository.");
