K08654551:GnuPG vulnerability CVE-2019-13050
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 10 Sep, 2019
Security Advisory Description
Interaction between the sks-keyserver code through 1.2.0 of the SKS keyserver
network, and GnuPG through 2.2.16, makes it risky to have a GnuPG keyserver
configuration line referring to a host on the SKS keyserver network. Retrieving
data from this network may cause a persistent denial of service, because of a
Certificate Spamming Attack. (CVE-2019-13050)
Impact
Traffix SDC
The system may experience a denial-of-service (DoS) attack when it is importing
a compromised certificate from the SKS keyserver network.

There is no impact; these F5 products are not affected by this vulnerability.
