Title:	F5 BIG-IP - BIG-IP last hop kernel module vulnerability CVE-2015-5516
Summary:	The remote host is missing a security patch.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing a security patch. Vulnerability Insight: The BIG-IP last hop kernel module may leak memory when processing User Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic. The memory leak may cause denial-of-service (DoS) conditions for the BIG-IP system. Vulnerability Impact: The following configurations may allow a remote attacker to cause a memory leak and potential DoS conditions on BIG-IP systems: - You use the management interface to provide remote access to UDP based services. - You use self IP addresses to provide remote access to UDP based services. - Virtual servers that reference a DNS profile with the Use BIND Server on BIG-IP option enabled (the option is enabled by default in BIG-IP 11.2.x through 12.0.0). - Wide IPs reference either of the following pool configurations: - A pool using the Return to DNS load balancing method. - A pool in which the Alternate and Fallback load balancing methods are set to None and all pools associated with the wide IP are unavailable. Solution: See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution. CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
