Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
When Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is configured in Static and Dynamic routing protocols, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to stop processing BFD packets and cause the configured routing protocol to fail over. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in F5 BIG-IP affects the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) when Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is configured with static or dynamic routing protocols. Undisclosed traffic patterns cause TMM to stop processing BFD packets, triggering unintended failover of the configured routing protocol. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | BFD must be configured in the BIG-IP system as part of static or dynamic routing protocol configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 5.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates network-accessible denial of service with low attack complexity and no authentication required. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker on the network sends a stream of crafted or undisclosed traffic patterns to a BIG-IP system configured with BFD for routing failover. The TMM packet processor fails to properly handle the traffic, stops processing legitimate BFD packets, and the routing protocol detects the loss of BFD heartbeats, triggering failover to a secondary device. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released patch from F5 advisory K000150508 (https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000150508) to affected BIG-IP systems. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
