A flaw was found in the bash functionality that evaluates specially formatted environment variables passed to it from another environment. An attacker could use this feature to override or bypass restrictions to the environment to execute shell commands before restrictions have been applied. Certain services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide environment variables, allowing them to exploit this issue.

A local file vulnerability exists in the F5 BIG-IP Configuration utility on versions 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.2, 11.6.1-11.6.3.1, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1 that exposes files containing F5-provided data only and do not include any configuration data, proxied traffic, or other potentially sensitive customer data.
On F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0, 12.0.0-12.1.2, 11.6.1-11.6.3.1, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1, when processing DIAMETER transactions with carefully crafted attribute-value pairs, TMM may crash.
GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the modcgi and modcgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271.
A BIG-IP virtual server configured with a Client SSL profile that has the non-default Session Tickets option enabled may leak up to 31 bytes of uninitialized memory. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to obtain Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session IDs from other sessions. It is possible that other data from uninitialized memory may be returned as well.
F5 BIG-IP 12.0.0 and 11.5.0 - 11.6.1 REST requests which timeout during user account authentication may log sensitive attributes such as passwords in plaintext to /var/log/restjavad.0.log. It may allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these files.

On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, and 12.0.x, an undisclosed sequence of packets received by an SSL virtual server and processed by an associated Client SSL or Server SSL profile may cause a denial of service.
On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3.6, 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, under certain conditions, hardware systems with a High-Speed Bridge and using non-default Layer 2 forwarding configurations may experience a lockup of the High-Speed Bridge.
On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, 13.0.0-13.1.1.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3.7, and 11.6.0-11.6.3.2, a reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is present in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP TMUI (Traffic Management User Interface) also known as the BIG-IP configuration utility.
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator and WebSafe software version 13.0.0, 12.0.0 - 12.1.2, 11.6.0 - 11.6.1 and 11.5.0 - 11.5.4, in some circumstances, Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) does not properly handle certain malformed TLS1.2 records, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) or possible remote command execution on the BIG-IP system.
In F5 BIG-IP 12.0.0-12.1.2, 11.6.0-11.6.1, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1 there is a vulnerability in TMM related to handling of invalid IP addresses.
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.
F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, Websafe software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.2, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1 are vulnerable to a denial of service attack when the MPTCP option is enabled on a virtual server. Data plane is vulnerable when using the MPTCP option of a TCP profile. There is no control plane exposure. An attacker may be able to disrupt services by causing TMM to restart hence temporarily failing to process traffic.
On F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.2, 11.6.0-11.6.3.1, or 11.2.1-11.5.6 a domain name cached within the DNS Cache of TMM may continue to be resolved by the cache even after the parent server revokes the record, if the DNS Cache is receiving a stream of requests for the cached name.
Through undisclosed methods, on F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.0.7, 12.1.0-12.1.3.5, 11.6.0-11.6.3.1, or 11.2.1-11.5.6, adjacent network attackers can cause a denial of service for VCMP guest and host systems. Attack must be sourced from adjacent network (layer 2).
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM and Websafe software version 13.0.0, 12.0.0 to 12.1.2 and 11.5.1 to 11.6.1, under limited circumstances connections handled by a Virtual Server with an associated SOCKS profile may not be properly cleaned up, potentially leading to resource starvation. Connections may be left in the connection table which then can only be removed by restarting TMM. Over time this may lead to the BIG-IP being unable to process further connections.
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, APM, ASM, Link Controller, PEM, PSM software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.2, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.4.0 to 11.5.4, when a virtual server uses the standard configuration of HTTP/2 or SPDY profile with Client SSL profile, and the client initiates a number of concurrent streams beyond the advertised limit can cause a disruption of service. Remote client initiating stream beyond the advertised limit can cause a disruption of service. The Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) data plane is exposed to this issue; the control plane is not exposed.
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator software version 12.0.0 - 12.1.2, 11.6.0 - 11.6.1, 11.4.0 - 11.5.4, 11.2.1, when ConfigSync is configured, attackers on adjacent networks may be able to bypass the TLS protections usually used to encrypted and authenticate connections to mcpd. This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack via resource exhaustion.
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM and Websafe software version 13.0.0, 12.0.0 to 12.1.2, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1 and 11.5.0 - 11.5.4, an undisclosed sequence of packets sent to BIG-IP High Availability state mirror listeners (primary and/or secondary IP) may cause TMM to restart.
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.
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.
In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, Websafe software version 12.0.0 to 12.1.2, 11.6.0 to 11.6.1, 11.4.0 to 11.5.4, 11.2.1, in some cases TMM may crash when processing TCP traffic. This vulnerability affects TMM via a virtual server configured with TCP profile. Traffic processing is disrupted while Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) restarts. If the affected BIG-IP system is configured to be part of a device group, it will trigger a failover to the peer device.
The automatic signature update functionality in the (1) Phone Home feature in F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, GTM, and Link Controller 11.5.0 through 11.6.0, ASM 10.0.0 through 11.6.0, and PEM 11.3.0 through 11.6.0 and the (2) Call Home feature in ASM 10.0.0 through 11.6.0 and PEM 11.3.0 through 11.6.0 does not properly validate server SSL certificates, which allows remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate.
Multiple XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerabilities in the Configuration utility in F5 BIG-IP LTM, ASM, GTM, and Link Controller 11.0 through 11.6.0 and 10.0.0 through 10.2.4, AAM 11.4.0 through 11.6.0, ARM 11.3.0 through 11.6.0, Analytics 11.0.0 through 11.6.0, APM and Edge Gateway 11.0.0 through 11.6.0 and 10.1.0 through 10.2.4, PEM 11.3.0 through 11.6.0, PSM 11.0.0 through 11.4.1 and 10.0.0 through 10.2.4, and WOM 11.0.0 through 11.3.0 and 10.0.0 through 10.2.4 and Enterprise Manager 3.0.0 through 3.1.1 and 2.1.0 through 2.3.0 allow remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files and cause a denial of service via a crafted request, as demonstrated using (1) viewList or (2) deal elements.
