Description
On BIG-IP versions 16.0.x before 16.0.1.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.3, 14.1.x before 14.1.4, 13.1.x before 13.1.3.6, and 12.1.x before 12.1.5.3, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may stop responding when processing Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) traffic under certain conditions. This vulnerability affects TMM by way of a virtual server configured with an SCTP profile. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
