Last Modified: Jul 28, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG_IP_NEXT(BNK) BNK(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
2.0.0, 2.0.0-GA, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3

Fixed In:
2.2.0

Opened: Dec 17, 2025

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Most DDoS Vectors are supported on both Global level & Per Context level. DNS Nxdomain DoS detection & mitigation feature is supported only on Global Context. However the Per Context DDoS CRD wrongly includes sub-section "dnsNxdomainQuery" defined, which is not supported.

Impact

Including dnsNxdomainQuery vector in Per Context DDoS CRD, is misleading.

Conditions

Per context DDoS CRD wrongly included sub-section "dnsNxdomainQuery". However this configuration section is not applicable.

Workaround

Use Global DDoS dnsNxdomainQuery vector. Per Context level DoS mitigation is not supported for DNS Nxdomain Vector.

Fix Information

None
