Category:F5 Local Security Checks
Title:F5 BIG-IP - SSL vulnerability CVE-2016-4545
Summary:F5 BIG-IP is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
F5 BIG-IP is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
On virtual servers with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) profiles
enabled, an SSL alert sent during the handshake may produce unnecessary logging and resource
consumption on a BIG-IP, possibly causing the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart and
produce a core file.

Vulnerability Impact:
When a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) alert is sent during the
handshake, the TMM may restart and produce a core file while logging SSL 'codec alert' messages to
the /var/log/ltm file.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.

CVSS Score:
5.0
