When an SSL profile is configured on a virtual server on BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) without Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) or on BIG-IP hardware platforms with the database variable crypto.hwacceleration聽set to disabled, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.聽聽 Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Update F5/BIG-IP to 21.0.0.1; F5/BIG-IP Next CNF to *; F5/BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes to 2.2.0; F5/BIG-IP Next SPK to * if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scanBIG-IP SSL/TLS vulnerability affects F5/BIG-IP (generic), F5/BIG-IP Next CNF (generic), F5/BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes (generic), F5/BIG-IP Next SPK (generic). Severity is high. When an SSL profile is configured on a virtual server on BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) without Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) or on BIG-IP hardware platforms with the database variable crypto.hwacceleration聽set to disabled, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.聽聽 Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in generic. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
