CVE-2021-23004
On BIG-IP versions 16.0.x before 16.0.1.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.2, 14.1.x before 14.1.3.1, 13.1.x before 13.1.3.6, 12.1.x before 12.1.5.3, and 11.6.x before 11.6.5.3, Multipath TCP (MPTCP) forwarding flows may be created on standard virtual servers…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
