F5 » Big-ip Analytics : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Code Execution)

A format string vulnerability exists in iControl SOAP that allows an authenticated attacker to crash the iControl SOAP CGI process or, potentially execute arbitrary code. In appliance mode BIG-IP, a successful exploit of this vulnerability can allow the attacker to cross a security boundary.  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, a malicious HTTP response to an Advanced WAF/BIG-IP ASM virtual server with Login Page configured in its policy may trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in a DoS attack. In certain situations, it may allow remote code execution (RCE), leading to complete system compromise. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) 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, and 12.1.x before 12.1.5.3, undisclosed requests to a virtual server may be incorrectly handled by the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) URI normalization, which may trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in a DoS attack. In certain situations, it may theoretically allow bypass of URL based access control or remote code execution (RCE). Note: Software versions which have reached End of Software Development (EoSD) are not evaluated.

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, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, the Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), also referred to as the Configuration utility, has a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in undisclosed pages.

In some circumstances, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) does not properly handle certain malformed Websockets requests/responses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) or possible remote code execution on the F5 BIG-IP system running versions 13.0.0 - 13.1.0.3 or 12.1.0 - 12.1.3.1.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module.

The datastor kernel module in F5 BIG-IP Analytics, APM, ASM, Link Controller, and LTM 11.1.0 before 12.0.0, BIG-IP AAM 11.4.0 before 12.0.0, BIG-IP AFM, PEM 11.3.0 before 12.0.0, BIG-IP Edge Gateway, WebAccelerator, and WOM 11.1.0 through 11.3.0, BIG-IP GTM 11.1.0 through 11.6.0, BIG-IP PSM 11.1.0 through 11.4.1, BIG-IQ Cloud and Security 4.0.0 through 4.5.0, BIG-IQ Device 4.2.0 through 4.5.0, BIG-IQ ADC 4.5.0, and Enterprise Manager 3.0.0 through 3.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service or gain privileges by leveraging permission to upload and execute code.
