CVE-2020-5926
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
In BIG-IP versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.4, 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, and 14.1.0-14.1.2.6, a BIG-IP virtual server with a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) ALG profile, parsing SIP messages that contain a multi-part MIME payload with certain boundary strings can cause TMM to free memory to the wrong cache.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.04%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 63
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
