On BIG-IP version 16.0.x before 16.0.1.2, 15.1.x before 15.1.3, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.2, 13.1.x before 13.1.4.1, and all versions of 12.1.x, a DOM based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Configuration utility that allows an attacker to execute JavaScript in the context of the current logged-in user. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

On BIG-IP versions 16.0.x before 16.0.1.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.2.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.4, 13.1.x before 13.1.3.6, 12.1.x before 12.1.5.3, and 11.6.x before 11.6.5.3, undisclosed endpoints in iControl REST allow for a reflected XSS attack, which could lead to a complete compromise of the BIG-IP system if the victim user is granted the admin role. This vulnerability is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-5948. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) are not evaluated.

BIG-IP APM virtual server vulnerability

BIG-IP Configuration utility XSS vulnerability

BIG-IP FIPS HSM password vulnerability CVE-2023-3470

In version 11.6.1-11.6.5.2 of the BIG-IP system Configuration utility Network > WCCP page, the system does not sanitize all user-provided data before display.

BIG-IP Appliance mode iAppsLX vulnerability

0-byte record padding oracle

A race condition when discarding malformed packets can cause BIND to exit with an assertion failure

When F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.0.5, 12.1.0-12.1.3.5, 11.6.0-11.6.3.2, or 11.5.1-11.5.6 is processing specially crafted TCP traffic with the Large Receive Offload (LRO) feature enabled, TMM may crash, leading to a failover event. This vulnerability is not exposed unless LRO is enabled, so most affected customers will be on 13.1.x. LRO has been available since 11.4.0 but is not enabled by default until 13.1.0.

In versions 13.0.0-13.0.0 HF2, 12.1.0-12.1.2 HF1, and 11.6.1-11.6.2, BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox SSL hardware acceleration cards, a Virtual Server configured with a Client SSL profile, and using Anonymous (ADH) or Ephemeral (DHE) Diffie-Hellman key exchange and Single DH use option not enabled in the options list may be vulnerable to crafted SSL/TLS Handshakes that may result with a PMS (Pre-Master Secret) that starts in a 0 byte and may lead to a recovery of plaintext messages as BIG-IP TLS/SSL ADH/DHE sends different error messages acting as an oracle. Similar error messages when PMS starts with 0 byte coupled with very precise timing measurement observation may also expose this vulnerability.

On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.0.0.2 or 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, in certain circumstances, when processing traffic through a Virtual Server with an associated MQTT profile, the TMM process may produce a core file and take the configured HA action.

On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.6.3.2, 12.1.3.4-12.1.3.7, 13.0.0 HF1-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) does not protect against multiple zero length DATA_FINs in the reassembly queue, which can lead to an infinite loop in some circumstances.

On F5 BIG-IP 16.1.x versions prior to 16.1.2.2 and 15.1.x versions prior to 15.1.5.1, when a BIG-IP DNS resolver-enabled, HTTP-Explicit or SOCKS profile is configured on a virtual server, an undisclosed DNS response can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated

On BIG-IP (LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, FPS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM) versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, when handling MQTT traffic through a BIG-IP virtual server associated with an MQTT profile and an iRule performing manipulations on that traffic, TMM may produce a core file.

On BIG-IP 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 11.6.0-11.6.5.1, the tmm crashes under certain circumstances when using the connector profile if a specific sequence of connections are made.

On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.4, 11.6.1, and 12.1.0, a virtual server configured with a Client SSL profile may be vulnerable to a chosen ciphertext attack against CBC ciphers. When exploited, this may result in plaintext recovery of encrypted messages through a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, despite the attacker not having gained access to the server's private key itself. (CVE-2019-6593 also known as Zombie POODLE and GOLDENDOODLE.)

BIG-IP HTTP profile vulnerability

In BIG-IP versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.4, 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2 and BIG-IQ versions 5.2.0-7.0.0, the host OpenSSH servers utilize keys of less than 2048 bits which are no longer considered secure.

BIG-IP SSL vulnerability

On all versions of BIG-IP 12.1.x and 11.6.x, the original TLS protocol includes a weakness in the master secret negotiation that is mitigated by the Extended Master Secret (EMS) extension defined in RFC 7627. TLS connections that do not use EMS are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks during renegotiation. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) are not evaluated.

When BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, 13.0.0-13.1.0.5, 12.1.0-12.1.3.5, 11.6.0-11.6.3.2, or 11.2.1-11.5.6, BIG-IQ Centralized Management 5.0.0-5.4.0 or 4.6.0, BIG-IQ Cloud and Orchestration 1.0.0, iWorkflow 2.1.0-2.3.0, or Enterprise Manager 3.1.1 is licensed for Appliance Mode, Admin and Resource administrator roles can by-pass BIG-IP Appliance Mode restrictions to overwrite critical system files. Attackers of high privilege level are able to overwrite critical system files which bypasses security controls in place to limit TMSH commands. This is possible with an administrator or resource administrator roles when granted TMSH. Resource administrator roles must have TMSH access in order to perform this attack.

The BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.0.0-14.1.2.2, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.1-11.6.5.1, BIG-IQ 7.0.0, 6.0.0-6.1.0, and 5.2.0-5.4.0, iWorkflow 2.3.0, and Enterprise Manager 3.1.1 configuration utility is vulnerable to Anti DNS Pinning (DNS Rebinding) attack.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, and 12.1.0-12.1.5.1 and BIG-IQ 5.2.0-7.1.0, when creating a QKView, credentials for binding to LDAP servers used for remote authentication of the BIG-IP administrative interface will not fully obfuscate if they contain whitespace.

On versions 11.2.1. and greater, unrestricted Snapshot File Access allows BIG-IP system's user with any role, including Guest Role, to have access and download previously generated and available snapshot files on the BIG-IP configuration utility such as QKView and TCPDumps.

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, under certain circumstances, attackers can decrypt configuration items that are encrypted because the vCMP configuration unit key is generated with insufficient randomness. The attack prerequisite is direct access to encrypted configuration and/or UCS files.

On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.1.0, 14.0.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.2, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5.1, BIG-IQ versions 7.0.0, 6.0.0-6.1.0, and 5.0.0-5.4.0, iWorkflow version 2.3.0, and Enterprise Manager version 3.1.1, authenticated users granted TMOS Shell (tmsh) privileges are able access objects on the file system which would normally be disallowed by tmsh restrictions. This allows for authenticated, low privileged attackers to access objects on the file system which would not normally be allowed.

BIGIP and BIG-IQ TACACS+ audit log Vulnerability

In versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, and 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), also known as the BIG-IP Configuration utility.

In BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.1.0.4, 14.1.0-14.1.2.6, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1 and BIG-IQ versions 5.4.0-7.0.0, Self-IP port-lockdown bypass via IPv6 link-local addresses.

BIG-IP Configuration utility vulnerability

BIG-IP Configuration utility CSRF vulnerability

Features in F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.0.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3.1, 11.6.1-11.6.3.1, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1 system that utilizes inflate functionality directly, via an iRule, or via the inflate code from PEM module are subjected to a service disruption via a "Zip Bomb" attack.

Under certain conditions, on F5 BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.0.5, 12.1.0-12.1.3.1, or 11.6.1 HF2-11.6.3.1, virtual servers configured with Client SSL or Server SSL profiles which make use of network hardware security module (HSM) functionality are exposed and impacted by this issue.

On BIG-IP versions 14.1.4 and 16.0.1.1, when the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process handles certain undisclosed traffic, it may start dropping all fragmented IP traffic. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) are not evaluated.

On BIG-IP 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.0.0-13.1.2, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, 11.5.2-11.6.4, when processing authentication attempts for control-plane users MCPD leaks a small amount of memory. Under rare conditions attackers with access to the management interface could eventually deplete memory on the system.

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.

In BIG-IP 15.0.0, 14.1.0-14.1.0.6, 14.0.0-14.0.0.5, 13.0.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, 11.5.1-11.6.4, BIG-IQ 7.0.0, 6.0.0-6.1.0,5.2.0-5.4.0, iWorkflow 2.3.0, and Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, the Configuration utility login page may not follow best security practices when handling a malicious request.

On BIG-IP 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.1-11.5.8, SNMP exposes sensitive configuration objects over insecure transmission channels. This issue is exposed when a passphrase is inserted into various profile types and accessed using SNMPv2.

On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, the TMM process may restart when the packet filter feature is enabled.
