Unauthenticated traffic disruption via HTTP/2 null dereference
Published Oct 15, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025
Denial of service in F5 BIG-IP Next CNF, SPK, and for Kubernetes allows remote attackers to restart TMM through HTTP/2 ingress traffic. The TMM HTTP/2 ingress path dereferences a null pointer while processing traffic whose triggering form F5 has not disclosed. HTTP/2 ingress must be configured; exploitation needs no authentication and disrupts data-plane traffic during the TMM restart.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
