F5 » Big-ip Edge Gateway » 13.1.0 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

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.

The BIG-IP Edge Client Installer on macOS does not follow best practices for elevating privileges during the installation process.  This vulnerability is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-38418.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated

When a non-admin user has been assigned an administrator role via an iControl REST PUT request and later the user's role is reverted back to a non-admin role via the Configuration utility, tmsh, or iControl REST. BIG-IP non-admin user can still have access to iControl REST admin resource.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

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.

When IPSec is configured on a Virtual Server, undisclosed traffic can cause TMM to terminate.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

When TCP Verified Accept is enabled on a TCP profile that is configured on a Virtual Server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in memory resource utilization.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated

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.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

An authenticated attacker with guest privileges or higher can cause the iControl SOAP process to terminate by sending undisclosed requests.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Configuration utility which allows an attacker to run JavaScript in the context of the currently logged-in user.  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 which may allow an authenticated attacker to read files with .xml extension. Access to restricted information is limited and the attacker does not control what information is obtained.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Multiple reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in undisclosed pages of the BIG-IP Configuration utility which allow an attacker to run JavaScript in the context of the currently logged-in user.  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.

On specific hardware platforms, on BIG-IP versions 16.1.x before 16.1.3.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.7, 14.1.x before 14.1.5.1, and all versions of 13.1.x, while Intel QAT (QuickAssist Technology) and the AES-GCM/CCM cipher is in use, undisclosed conditions can cause BIG-IP to send data unencrypted even with an SSL Profile applied.

In BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.1.0.4, 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2 and BIG-IQ 5.2.0-7.1.0, unauthenticated attackers can cause disruption of service via undisclosed methods.

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, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, an undisclosed TMUI page contains a vulnerability which allows a stored XSS when BIG-IP systems are setup in a device trust.

In versions 7.1.5-7.1.8, the BIG-IP Edge Client components in BIG-IP APM, Edge Gateway, and FirePass legacy allow attackers to obtain the full session ID from process memory.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 14.0.0-14.0.1, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, when a virtual server is configured with HTTP explicit proxy and has an attached HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST iRule, POST requests sent to the virtual server cause an xdata memory leak.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, under certain conditions, the Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) cryptography driver may produce a Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) core file.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1.2, 14.1.0-14.1.2.2, 13.1.0-13.1.3.2, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5.1 and BIG-IQ 7.0.0, 6.0.0-6.1.0, and 5.2.0-5.4.0, users with non-administrator roles (for example, Guest or Resource Administrator) with tmsh shell access can execute arbitrary commands with elevated privilege via a crafted tmsh command.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.2, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5.1, undisclosed HTTP behavior may lead to a denial of service.

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 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.

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commits 967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 and 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363.

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment in the Linux kernel could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit f070ef2ac66716357066b683fb0baf55f8191a2e.

Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow in the Linux kernel when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commit 3b4929f65b0d8249f19a50245cd88ed1a2f78cff.
