K000134516 : BIG-IP SSL Client Certificate LDAP and CRLDP Authentication profiles vulnerability CVE-2024-23979

Security Advisory Description

When an SSL Client Certificate LDAP or Certificate Revocation List Distribution Point (CRLDP) authentication profile is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in CPU resource utilization. (CVE-2024-23979)

Impact

System performance can degrade until the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process is either forced to restart or is manually restarted. This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a degradation of service that can lead to a denial-of-service (DoS) on the BIG-IP system. There is no control plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.
