Opened: Dec 09, 2025

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

On BIG-IP APM systems, a crash of the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may happen when a client device sends an unexpected extra trailing carriage return or line feed (CR/LF) during an iSession tunnel reconnection. This issue has been observed in a specific user scenario involving a certain client device. In this case, the Edge Client installation was a hybrid of multiple versions, which resulted in the transmission of these unexpected CR/LF characters following the iSession request.

Impact

-- Traffic is disrupted while the TMM restarts. -- Disruption of user sessions. -- The issue is highly specific to certain client configurations and is not expected to be widespread.

Conditions

iSession tunnels in use. Client device sends an extra CR/LF after the iSession request, often due to a hybrid or corrupted Edge Client installation.

Workaround

None.
