K52167636:TMM vulnerability CVE-2017-6153
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 31 May, 2018
Security Advisory Description
Features in the BIG-IP system that utilize inflate functionality directly, via
an iRule, or via the inflate code from PEM module are subjected to a service
disruption via a "Zip Bomb" attack. (CVE-2017-6153)
Impact
BIG-IP systems deployed in Forward Proxy mode with the inflate functionality
enabled are at greatest risk for this vulnerability. BIG-IP systems that are
collecting and manually decompressing data by way of iRules (using
HTTP::collect and DECOMPRESS/COMPRESS) have additional risk, as this situation
may increase the likelihood of successful exploitation. The control plane is
not impacted by this issue; this issue is observed on the data plane.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 676457 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.

vulnerability, refer to the Applies to (see versions) box. To determine if
