Known Affected Versions:
14.1.2, 14.1.2.1, 14.1.2.2, 15.0.0, 15.0.1, 15.0.1.1, 15.0.1.2, 15.0.1.3, 15.0.1.4, 15.1.0, 15.1.0.1, 15.1.0.2, 15.1.0.3, 15.1.0.4, 15.1.0.5, 15.1.1, 15.1.2, 15.1.2.1, 15.1.3, 15.1.3.1, 15.1.4, 15.1.4.1, 15.1.5, 15.1.5.1, 15.1.6, 15.1.6.1, 15.1.7, 15.1.8, 15.1.8.1, 15.1.8.2, 15.1.9, 15.1.9.1, 15.1.10, 15.1.10.2, 15.1.10.3, 15.1.10.4

Fixed In:

Opened: Oct 10, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Packet with unexpected source MAC is seen on the adjacent node to the BIG-IP system.

Impact

Incorrect source MAC is used. Possible impacts to services on nodes adjacent to the BIG-IP system if policy decisions on those nodes are made with the source MAC of the received packet as input.

Conditions

-- The BIG-IP system is configured in an L2 transparent mode using virtual wires. -- Traffic forwarded between client and server in an asymmetric manner across virtual wires.

Workaround

None.
