Under certain conditions, virtual servers configured with Client SSL or Server SSL profiles that make use of network hardware security module (HSM) functionality are exposed and impacted by this issue.
(CVE-2018-5524)
Impact
Malformed Transport Layer Security (TLS) requests sent to virtual servers using network HSM functionality may cause a degradation of service.
Note: If the BIG-IP system is configured with both virtual servers using network HSM functionality and virtual servers that do notusenetwork HSM functionality, only the virtual servers using network HSM are exposed to this vulnerability.
