Description

On BIG-IP version 16.0.x before 16.0.1.2 and 15.1.x before 15.1.3, when the iRules RESOLVER::summarize command is used on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) memory utilization resulting in an out-of-memory condition and a denial-of-service (DoS). Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
