Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in various F5 products, which can be exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache.

The vulnerability is caused due to the products not sufficiently randomising the DNS transaction ID and the source port number, which can be exploited to poison the DNS cache.

The vulnerability affects the following products and versions:
* 3-DNS versions 4.5 - 4.5.14, 4.6 - 4.6.1, and 4.6.2 - 4.6.4
* BIG-IP versions 4.5 - 4.5.14, 4.6 - 4.6.1, and 4.6.2 - 4.6.4

* BIG-IP GTM versions 9.3 - 9.3.1 and 9.4 - 9.4.5
* BIG-IP ASM versions 9.3 - 9.3.1 and 9.4 - 9.4.5
