CVE-2026-41227: DoS in F5 BIG-IP
Platform
linux
Component
bigip
Opgelost in
17.5.1.4
CVE-2026-41227 describes a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability affecting F5 BIG-IP systems. Exploitation involves sending specially crafted HTTP/2 traffic to an HTTP/2 virtual server with Layer 7 DoS Protection enabled, leading to increased memory consumption and potential termination of the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process. This can result in service outages. The vulnerability impacts versions 16.1.0 through 17.5.1.4, and a fix is available in version 17.5.1.4.
Impact en Aanvalsscenarioswordt vertaald…
Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-41227 can lead to a complete denial of service for applications and services relying on the affected F5 BIG-IP instance. The TMM process termination effectively halts traffic processing, rendering the virtual server unavailable. The impact can range from temporary service interruptions to prolonged outages, depending on the criticality of the affected applications. While the vulnerability requires specific HTTP/2 traffic manipulation, the relative ease of crafting such payloads, combined with the potential for widespread disruption, makes it a significant concern. Organizations heavily reliant on F5 BIG-IP for load balancing and application delivery are particularly vulnerable.
Uitbuitingscontextwordt vertaald…
CVE-2026-41227 was published on May 13, 2026. The vulnerability's severity is rated HIGH (CVSS 7.5). Currently, there are no publicly available exploits or active campaigns targeting this vulnerability. It is not listed on KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) as of the publication date. The EPSS (Exploit Prediction Score System) score is pending evaluation, but the potential for DoS impact suggests a medium to high probability of exploitation if a suitable exploit is developed and released.

Mitigatie en Workaroundswordt vertaald…
The primary mitigation for CVE-2026-41227 is to upgrade F5 BIG-IP to version 17.5.1.4 or later, which contains the fix. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement temporary workarounds. Configure a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or proxy to filter out potentially malicious HTTP/2 requests. Specifically, look for unusual header patterns or request sizes that deviate from expected traffic. Consider implementing rate limiting on HTTP/2 connections to reduce the impact of a potential attack. Monitor TMM process resource utilization closely; spikes in memory consumption could indicate exploitation attempts. After upgrading, confirm the fix by sending test HTTP/2 requests and verifying that TMM resource usage remains stable.
