Description:Summary:
F5 BIG-IP is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:

which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a large or infinite number
of referrals.

Vulnerability Impact:
An attacker with a properly configured authority server could cause a denial-of-service
using a crafted DNS recursive query, designed to follow an endless series of delegations.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.
