CVE-2017-6154
On F5 BIG-IP systems running 13.0.0, 12.1.0 - 12.1.3.1, or 11.6.1 - 11.6.2, the BIG-IP ASM bd daemon may core dump memory under some circumstances when processing undisclosed types of data on systems with 48 or more CPU cores.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.66%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
