F5 BIG-IP BIND Vulnerability (SOL18829561)

The BIG-IP platform is a smart evolution of Application Delivery Controller (ADC) technology.

A remote attacker may be able to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the BIG-IP system's local instance of BIND by using a specially crafted DNS request in configurations that expose BIND to requests from untrusted users. If the BIND process (named) terminates or stops responding, the bigstart process will automatically restart the impacted daemon.

Affected Versions:
BIG-IP 12.0.0 - 12.1.1
BIG-IP 11.4.0 - 11.6.1
BIG-IP 11.2.1
BIG-IP 10.2.1 - 10.2.4

On successful exploitation it allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted query.

Vendor has not issues solution yet.
