The BIG-IP and BIG-IQ systems do not encrypt some sensitive information written to Database (DB) variables.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Specific F5 BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox FIPS HSM cards generate a deterministic password for the Crypto User account. The predictable nature of the password allows an authenticated user with TMSH access to the BIG-IP system, or anyone with physical access to the FIPS HSM, the information required to generate the correct password. On vCMP systems, all Guests share the same deterministic password, allowing those with TMSH access on one Guest to access keys of a different Guest.
The following BIG-IP hardware platforms are affected: 10350v-F, i5820-DF, i7820-DF, i15820-DF, 5250v-F, 7200v-F, 10200v-F, 6900-F, 8900-F, 11000-F, and 11050-F.
The BIG-IP rSeries r5920-DF and r10920-DF are not affected, nor does the issue affect software FIPS implementations or network HSM configurations.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
When TACACS+ audit forwarding is configured on a BIG-IP or BIG-IQ system, shared secret is logged in plaintext in the audit log.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Configuration utility that allows an attacker to run JavaScript in the context of the currently logged-in user.
Exposure of Sensitive Information vulnerability exist in an undisclosed BIG-IP TMOS shell (tmsh) command which may allow an authenticated attacker with resource administrator role privileges to view sensitive information.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Configuration utility that may allow an authenticated attacker to read files with an .xml extension. Access to restricted information is limited and the attacker does not control what information is obtained.
An authenticated attacker with guest privileges or higher can cause the iControl SOAP process to terminate by sending undisclosed requests.
