Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22999)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the HTTP/2 Profile feature when processing aborted connections for HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send multiple HTTP/2 requests and permanently close connections, which leads to a denial of service (DoS) condition, as the BIG-IP system indefinitely retains such streams unclosed.
