Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions F5 BIG-IP APM software versions 12.1.2 and 13.0.0

Description The issue arises in certain circumstances where APM tunneled VPN flows can cause premature freeing of a VPN/PPP connflow or make TMM stop responding with a "flow not in use" assertion. This could allow an attacker to disrupt traffic or cause the BIG-IP system to fail over to another device in the device group.
