In some cases the MCPD binary cache in F5 BIG-IP devices may allow a user with Advanced Shell access, or privileges to generate a qkview, to temporarily obtain normally unrecoverable information.

In F5 BIG-IP systems 12.1.0 - 12.1.2, malicious requests made to virtual servers with an HTTP profile can cause the TMM to restart. The issue is exposed with BIG-IP APM profiles, regardless of settings. The issue is also exposed with the non-default "Normalize URI" configuration options used in iRules and/or BIG-IP LTM policies. An attacker may be able to disrupt traffic or cause the BIG-IP system to fail over to another device in the device group.

An undisclosed traffic pattern received by a BIG-IP Virtual Server with TCP Fast Open enabled may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart, resulting in a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

Under certain conditions for BIG-IP systems using a virtual server with an associated FastL4 profile and TCP analytics profile, a specific sequence of packets may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart.
