Apache DOS and LTMs.

Hello,

 

Past week, the ISC team published some articles saying that there was some risk of DOS in Apache Servers:

In today's post the are stating:

 

"First of all, those running some load balancers or reverse proxies in front of their Apache installations should check if they are really vulnerable or not – it's possible that the proxy is not affected by this vulnerability."

 

 

So, the question is, Are my apache servers running (2.X) behind the big-ips affected of this issue?

 

 

Can anyone elaborate on this?

 

 

Regards,
