CVE-2016-9247
Under certain conditions for BIG-IP systems using a virtual server with an associated FastL4 profile and TCP analytics profile, a specific sequence of packets may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.89%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
