Any information regarding the memory leak found in 14.1.2.4?

Hi all!

I woke up and had an urgent email from F5 for breakfast.

"F5 discovered a memory leak and crash bug related to layer 2 (L2) multicast in BIG-IP version 14.1.2.4. Consequently, F5 removed BIG-IP 14.1.2.4 from F5 Downloads"

 

The thing is, I have upgraded a platform to that version on friday. To date, there are no symptoms, but rolling back and upgrading to .3 is quite convoluted, moreso in these times. Does anyone have any information regarding this issue, so that we can see if it applies in our scenario or not?

Thanks!
