BIG-IP LTM
Known Affected Versions:
17.1.2, 17.1.2.1, 17.1.2.2
Opened: Mar 23, 2025 Severity: 4-Minor
If a misconfigured server waits to send a body, or fails to send one at all, the BIG-IP system waits until the connection ends before sending the response.
The connection might appear to stall until the server-side sends a body or disconnects.
This occurs when the following conditions are met: -- A response indicating a body. -- The headers are smaller than 16 KB. -- The body takes time to arrive, or never arrives at all.
The headers can be padded to be larger than 16 KB by an iRule. (This causes the BIG-IP system not to wait.) HTTP::respond might also be useful to emulate a redirect response manually.
