CVE-2021-23011 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. On versions 16.0.x before 16.0.1.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.3, 14.1.x before 14.1.4, 13.1.x before 13.1.4, 12.1.x before 12.1.6, and 11.6.x before 11.6.5.3, when the BIG-IP system is buffering packet fragments for reassembly, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may consume an excessive amount of resources, eventually leading to a restart and failover event. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.. EPSS estimates a 0.96% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
