In F5 BIG-IP 12.0.0 through 12.1.2, an authenticated attacker may be able to cause an escalation of privileges through a crafted iControl REST connection.
In BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.1.0.3, 14.1.0-14.1.2.5, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), also referred to as the Configuration utility, exists in an undisclosed page.
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Link Controller, PEM and WebSafe software version 13.0.0 and 12.1.0 - 12.1.2, race conditions in iControl REST may lead to commands being executed with different privilege levels than expected.
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM and Websafe software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.1, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.5.0 - 11.5.4, virtual servers with a configuration using the HTTP Explicit Proxy functionality and/or SOCKS profile are vulnerable to an unauthenticated, remote attack that allows modification of BIG-IP system configuration, extraction of sensitive system files, and/or possible remote command execution on the BIG-IP system.
In versions 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, the BIG-IP system does not properly enforce the access controls for the scp.blacklist files. This allows Admin and Resource Admin users with Secure Copy (SCP) protocol access to read and overwrite blacklisted files via SCP.
On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, a race condition exists where mcpd and other processes may make unencrypted connection attempts to a new configuration sync peer. The race condition can occur when changing the ConfigSync IP address of a peer, adding a new peer, or when the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) first starts up.
On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.2, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5, while processing traffic through a standard virtual server that targets a FastL4 virtual server (VIP on VIP), hardware appliances may stop responding.
On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.0.1.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5.1, users with access to edit iRules are able to create iRules which can lead to an elevation of privilege, configuration modification, and arbitrary system command execution.
On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, or 12.1.0-12.1.3.7, when a virtual server using the inflate functionality to process a gzip bomb as a payload, the BIG-IP system will experience a fatal error and may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to produce a core file.
On versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, when a BIG-IP system that has a virtual server configured with an HTTP compression profile processes compressed HTTP message payloads that require deflation, a Slowloris-style attack can trigger an out-of-memory condition on the BIG-IP system.
When F5 BIG-IP ASM 13.0.0-13.1.0.1, 12.1.0-12.1.3.5, 11.6.0-11.6.3.1, or 11.5.1-11.5.6 is processing HTTP requests, an unusually large number of parameters can cause excessive CPU usage in the BIG-IP ASM bd process.
Under certain conditions for F5 BIG-IP systems 13.0.0 or 12.1.0 - 12.1.3.1, using FastL4 profiles, when the Reassemble IP Fragments option is disabled (default), some specific large fragmented packets may restart the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM).
An excessive resource consumption flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's networking subsystem processed TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) segments. While processing SACK segments, the Linux kernel's socket buffer (SKB) data structure becomes fragmented, which leads to increased resource utilization to traverse and process these fragments as further SACK segments are received on the same TCP connection. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (DoS) by sending a crafted sequence of SACK segments on a TCP connection.
On versions 15.0.0-15.0.1.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.2, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5.1, BIG-IP virtual servers with Loose Initiation enabled on a FastL4 profile may be subject to excessive flow usage under undisclosed conditions.
On versions 15.0.0-15.0.1.1, 14.0.0-14.1.2.2, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5.1, the BIG-IP ASM system may consume excessive resources when processing certain types of HTTP responses from the origin web server. This vulnerability is only known to affect resource-constrained systems in which the security policy is configured with response-side features, such as Data Guard or response-side learning.
On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, and 12.1.0-12.1.5, under certain conditions when using custom TCP congestion control settings in a TCP profile, TMM stops processing traffic when processed by an iRule.
On versions 15.0.0-15.0.1.1, 14.0.0-14.1.2.2, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5.1, under certain conditions, a multi-bladed BIG-IP Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing (vCMP) may drop broadcast packets when they are rebroadcast to the vCMP guest secondary blades. An attacker can leverage the fragmented broadcast IP packets to perform any type of fragmentation-based attack.
On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.1-11.6.5.1, undisclosed traffic flow may cause TMM to restart under some circumstances.
Under certain conditions on F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.2, 11.6.0-11.6.3.1, or 11.5.0-11.5.6, TMM may core while processing SSL forward proxy traffic.
F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.0.5, 12.1.0-12.1.3.5, or 11.6.0-11.6.3.1 virtual servers with HTTP/2 profiles enabled are vulnerable to "HPACK Bomb".
On F5 BIG-IP 14.0.0, 13.0.0-13.1.0, 12.1.0-12.1.3, or 11.5.1-11.6.3 specifically crafted HTTP responses, when processed by a Virtual Server with an associated QoE profile that has Video enabled, may cause TMM to incorrectly buffer response data causing the TMM to restart resulting in a Denial of Service.
Under certain conditions on F5 BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.0.5, 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.3.1, 11.6.0-11.6.3.1, or 11.5.0-11.5.6, TMM may core while processing SSL forward proxy traffic.
In BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.1.0.4, 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2 and BIG-IQ 5.2.0-7.1.0, unauthenticated attackers can cause disruption of service via undisclosed methods.
On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, under certain conditions, the Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) cryptography driver may produce a Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) core file.
On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.1.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, malformed input to the DATAGRAM::tcp iRules command within a FLOWINIT event may lead to a denial of service.
On BIG-IP 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, and 12.1.0-12.1.4, undisclosed traffic sent to BIG-IP iSession virtual server may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to restart, resulting in a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
When BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8 are processing certain rare data sequences occurring in PPTP VPN traffic, the BIG-IP system may execute incorrect logic. The TMM may restart and produce a core file as a result of this condition. The BIG-IP system provisioned with the CGNAT module and configured with a virtual server using a PPTP profile is exposed to this vulnerability.
On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, DNS query TCP connections that are aborted before receiving a response from a DNS cache may cause TMM to restart.
In BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3, and 13.0.0-13.0.1, malformed TCP packets sent to a self IP address or a FastL4 virtual server may cause an interruption of service. The control plane is not exposed to this issue. This issue impacts the data plane virtual servers and self IPs.
On BIG-IP 14.0.x, 13.x, 12.x, and 11.x, Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, BIG-IQ 6.x, 5.x, and 4.x, and iWorkflow 2.x, the passphrases for SNMPv3 users and trap destinations that are used for authentication and privacy are not handled by the BIG-IP system Secure Vault feature; they are written in the clear to the various configuration files.
