CVE-2016-4545

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions F5 BIG-IP version 11.5.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in resource consumption and a Traffic Management Microkernel restart. This occurs when an SSL alert is sent during the handshake, and SSL profiles are enabled.

Recommendations For F5 BIG-IP version 11.5.4, consider disabling SSL profiles as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation. Restrict access to the SSL handshake process to prevent remote attackers from sending malicious SSL alerts.
