CVE-2025-24312 Details
Description
When BIG-IP AFM is provisioned with IPS module enabled and protocol inspection profile is configured on a virtual server or firewall rule or policy, undisclosed traffic can cause an increase in CPU resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
A vulnerability exists in F5 BIG-IP Application Firewall Manager (AFM) when the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) module is active and a protocol inspection profile is applied to a virtual server, firewall rule, or policy. Under these conditions, certain undisclosed traffic can cause a significant increase in CPU usage. This CPU exhaustion can degrade system performance, potentially causing the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process to crash or require a manual restart. The issue represents a data plane problem, with no exposure to the control plane.
Users can upgrade to BIG-IP versions 17.1.2, 16.1.6, or 15.1.10.6.0.11.6 to address this vulnerability. For more information about managing BIG-IP product hotfixes, refer to the F5 article K13123.
