What is CVE-2023-29163?

A misconfiguration in the UDP profile setting can lead to a scenario where an idle timeout is set to immediate or a value of 0 on a virtual server. This particular setup can result in undisclosed traffic causing the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate unexpectedly, potentially disrupting normal traffic flow and affecting network reliability. It's essential to monitor these configurations to prevent unforeseen service interruptions.
