The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process may produce a core file when using the connector profile and a specific sequence of connections are received. (CVE-2020-5854)
Impact
The BIG-IP system temporarily fails to process traffic as it recovers from a TMMrestart, and devices configured in a device group may fail over.
