The rsync daemon in F5 BIG-IP 11.6 before 11.6.0, 11.5.1 before HF3, 11.5.0 before HF4, 11.4.1 before HF4, 11.4.0 before HF7, 11.3.0 before HF9, and 11.2.1 before HF11 and Enterprise Manager 3.x before 3.1.1 HF2, when configured in failover mode, does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to read or write to arbitrary files via a cmi request to the ConfigSync IP address.

The Edge Client components in F5 BIG-IP APM 10.x, 11.x, 12.x, 13.x, and 14.x, BIG-IP Edge Gateway 10.x and 11.x, and FirePass 7.0.0 allow attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via unspecified vectors.

Directory traversal vulnerability in an unspecified signed Java applet in the client-side components in F5 BIG-IP APM 10.1.0 through 10.2.4 and 11.0.0 through 11.3.0, FirePass 6.0.0 through 6.1.0 and 7.0.0, and other products "when APM is provisioned," allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the filename parameter.

Angelo Prado, Neal Harris and Yoel Gluck reported [1],[2] that SSL/TLS attacks are still viable via a "BREACH" (Browser Reconnaissance & Exfiltration via Adaptive Compression of Hypertext) attack, which they describe as:

While CRIME was mitigated by disabling TLS/SPDY compression (and by modifying gzip to allow for explicit separation of compression contexts in SPDY), BREACH attacks HTTP responses. These are compressed using the common HTTP compression, which is much more common than TLS-level compression. This allows essentially the same attack demonstrated by Duong and Rizzo, but without relying on TLS-level compression (as they anticipated).

BREACH is a category of vulnerabilities and not a specific instance affecting a specific piece of software. To be vulnerable, a web application must:

Be served from a server that uses HTTP-level compression Reflect user-input in HTTP response bodies Reflect a secret (such as a CSRF token) in HTTP response bodies

It is important to note that the attack is agnostic to the version of TLS/SSL, and does not require TLS-layer compression. Additionally, the attack works against any cipher suite. Against a stream cipher, the attack is simpler; the difference in sizes across response bodies is much more granular in this case. If a block cipher is used, additional work must be done to align the output to the cipher text blocks.

CERT has an entry describing the flaw as well [3]. Currently no CVE is assigned as MITRE is attempting to determine whether one CVE will suffice, or whether it will require multiple CVEs (one per affected product). [4]

Mitigations are noted by the researchers as follows

1. Disable HTTP compression. 2. Separate the secrets from the user input. 3. Randomize the secrets in each client request. 4. Mask secrets (effectively randomizing by XORing with a random secret per request). 5. Protect web pages from CSRF attacks. 6. Obfuscate the length of web responses by adding random amounts of arbitrary bytes.

The sudoers file in the Linux system configuration in F5 FirePass 6.0.0 through 6.1.0 and 7.0.0 does not require a password for executing commands as root, which allows local users to gain privileges via the sudo program, as demonstrated by the user account that executes PHP scripts, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-1777.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the login interface (my.logon.php3) in F5 FirePass SSL VPN 5.5 through 5.5.2 and 6.0 through 6.0.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a base64-encoded xcho parameter.

The SNMP daemon in the F5 FirePass 1200 6.0.2 hotfix 3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by walking the hrSWInstalled OID branch in HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in F5 FirePass SSL VPN 6.0.2 hotfix 3, and possibly earlier versions, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via quotes in (1) the cssexceptions parameter in vdesk/admincon/webyfiers.php and (2) the sqlmatchscope parameter in vdesk/admincon/index.php.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in installControl.php3 in F5 FirePass 4100 SSL VPN 5.4.2-5.5.2 and 6.0-6.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the query string.
