TITLE

F5 BIG-IP AAM and PEM Vulnerabilities in resource management

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2017-009629

DESCRIPTION

In F5 BIG-IP AAM and PEM software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.1, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.4.1 to 11.5.4, a remote attacker may create maliciously crafted HTTP request to cause Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart and temporarily fail to process traffic. This issue is exposed on virtual servers using a Policy Enforcement profile or a Web Acceleration profile. Systems that do not have BIG-IP AAM module provisioned are not vulnerable. The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may restart and temporarily fail to process traffic. Systems that do not have BIG-IP AAM or PEM module provisioned are not vulnerable. F5 BIG-IP AAM and PEM Contains a resource management vulnerability.Denial of service (DoS) May be in a state. Multiple F5 BIG-IP products are prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to cause the service to restart resulting in a denial-of-service condition. F5 BIG-IP AAM is an application acceleration manager. PEM is a policy enforcement manager. F5 BIG-IP AAM and PEM have security vulnerabilities. The following products and versions are affected: F5 BIG-IP AAM Version 12.0.0 through 12.1.1, Version 11.6.0 through Version 11.6.1, Version 11.4.1 through Version 11.5.4; BIG-IP PEM Version 12.0.0 to version 12.1.1, version 11.6.0 to version 11.6.1, version 11.4.1 to version 11.5.4
