CVE-2017-6160
In F5 BIG-IP AAM and PEM software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.1, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.4.1 to 11.5.4, a remote attacker may create maliciously crafted HTTP request to cause Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart and temporarily fail to process traffic.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.65%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
