An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-6672 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 Big-Ip Advanced Firewall Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6672/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6672/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6672","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6672/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6672","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rx3r-224f-8r7p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"F5 BIG-IP AFM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can degrade performance of F5 BIG-IP AFM systems with hardware sPVA when bad-actor detection is enabled on wildcard virtual servers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_advanced_firewall_manager","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"On BIG-IP AFM 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.0.0-14.1.2, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, when bad-actor detection is configured on a wildcard virtual server on platforms with hardware-based sPVA, the performance of the BIG-IP AFM system is degraded.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP AFM","id":"CVE-2019-6672","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-ip_advanced_firewall_manager","products":["f5:big-ip_advanced_firewall_manager"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP","id":"CVE-2019-6673"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP","id":"CVE-2019-6671"},"products":["BIG-IP AFM"],"published":"2019-11-27","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in BIG-IP AFM","id":"CVE-2021-23040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-14"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"BIG-IP AFM DoS protection profile vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-59478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"BIG-IP AFM vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-24312","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-05"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in BIG-IP (AFM, ASM)","id":"CVE-2019-6636","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"BIG-IP AFM vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21763","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"F5 AFM Signature Matching Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21771","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"BIG-IP AFM vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-22281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["F5"]},"summary":"Attackers can degrade performance of F5 BIG-IP AFM systems with hardware sPVA when bad-actor detection is enabled on wildcard virtual servers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6672/"}
