If a malformed ICAP message is sent to the Big-IP the ICAP parser can enter a state where it consumes an increasing amount of CPU and memory.
Memory and CPU usage increase. Eventually the TMM may crash causing Big-IP fail-over.
A request-adapt or response-adapt profile is configured. An ICAP message is received from an ICAP server lacking "ICAP/1.0" as initial header line.
None
ICAP parser checks for correct initial ICAP/1.0 header line and rejects message if missing.
