CVE-2017-6138
HighSummary
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, and WebSafe software versions 13.0.0 and 12.1.0 - 12.1.2, malicious requests made to virtual servers with an HTTP profile can cause the TMM to restart. The issue is exposed with BIG-IP APM profiles, regardless of settings.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to disrupt the operation of virtual servers, potentially leading to service availability interruptions. This poses a risk to the organization's operational continuity and reputation.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the software to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, consider reviewing the configuration of APM profiles and the 'normalize URI' options used in iRules and/or BIG-IP LTM policies.
