When the BIG-IP Configuration utility is configured to use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication, undisclosed traffic can cause the httpd process to exhaust the available file descriptors. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
AnalysisAI
Resource exhaustion in BIG-IP Configuration utility allows remote unauthenticated attackers to trigger file descriptor exhaustion in the httpd process when LDAP authentication is enabled. The attack achieves complete denial of service (CVSS A:H) through network-accessible undisclosed traffic patterns. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Identify all BIG-IP Configuration utility instances with LDAP authentication enabled and verify current version against F5 advisory; confirm patch availability for your specific version. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patch to all affected BIG-IP systems, prioritizing production environments; test patched systems in non-production environments first. …
