CVE-2021-23051

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions F5 BIG-IP versions 15.1.0.4 through 15.1.3

Description The issue occurs when the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)/Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) driver is used with BIG-IP on Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems. Undisclosed requests can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate due to an incomplete fix for a previously known issue.

Recommendations For versions 15.1.0.4 through 15.1.3, consider disabling the DPDK/ENA driver as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the TMM to minimize the risk of exploitation.
