WhenLarge Receive Offload(LRO)and SYN cookies are enabled (default settings), undisclosed traffic patterns may cause TMM to restart.
(CVE-2018-5512)
Impact
An attacker may be able to causea disruption of service. Exposure to this vulnerability is limited to the data plane on hardwareplatforms.
There is no exposure to the control plane or BIG-IPVirtual Edition (VE). The BIG-IP system will take the configured high availability (HA) action for the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) when experiencing this issue.
