Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP AFM, GTM, LTM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
10.2.4, 11.6.2 HF1, 11.4.1

Fixed In:
11.6.0, 11.5.1 HF5

Opened: Feb 25, 2014

Symptoms

IANA recently assigned option code 0x0008 to the client-subnet option of the EDNS0 record. Previously, the value was undefined, but processed as 0x50fa by various vendors.

Impact

The BIG-IP software treats the newly assigned value, 0x0008, as malformed, and the query is dropped.

Conditions

EDNS0 with new client-subnet option code.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Option code 0x0008 to the client-subnet of the EDNS0 record is now recognized, so the BIG-IP software now accepts both 0x50fa and 0x0008.
