On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0.2-14.1.2.2, 14.0.0.5-14.0.1, 13.1.1.5-13.1.3.1, 12.1.4.1-12.1.5, 11.6.4-11.6.5, and 11.5.9-11.5.10, the access controls implemented by scp.whitelist and scp.blacklist are not properly enforced for paths that are symlinks. This allows authenticated users with SCP access to overwrite certain configuration files that would otherwise be restricted.

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.

BIG-IP configurations using Active Directory, LDAP, or Client Certificate LDAP for management authentication with multiple servers are exposed to a vulnerability which allows an authentication bypass. This can result in a complete compromise of the system. This issue only impacts specific engineering hotfixes using the aforementioned authentication configuration. NOTE: This vulnerability does not affect any of the BIG-IP major, minor or maintenance releases you obtained from downloads.f5.com. The affected Engineering Hotfix builds are as follows: Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.3.0.79.6-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.3.0.97.6-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.3.0.99.6-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.5.0.15.5-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.5.0.36.5-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.5.0.40.5-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.6.0.11.9-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.6.0.14.9-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.6.0.68.9-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.0.6.0.70.9-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.0.11.37-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.0.18.37-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.0.32.37-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.46.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.14.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.16.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.34.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.97.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.99.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.105.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.111.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.115.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-14.1.2.1.0.122.4-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-15.0.1.0.33.11-ENG.iso, Hotfix-BIGIP-15.0.1.0.48.11-ENG.iso

On F5 SSL Orchestrator 15.0.0-15.0.1 and 14.0.0-14.1.2, TMM may crash when processing SSLO data in a service-chaining configuration.

On versions 15.0.0-15.0.1 and 14.0.0-14.1.2, when the BIG-IP is configured in HTTP/2 Full Proxy mode, specifically crafted requests may cause a disruption of service provided by the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM).

On BIG-IP AFM 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.0.0-14.1.2, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, when bad-actor detection is configured on a wildcard virtual server on platforms with hardware-based sPVA, the performance of the BIG-IP AFM system is degraded.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, under certain conditions tmm may leak memory when processing packet fragments, leading to resource starvation.

On BIG-IP ASM 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, BIG-IQ 6.0.0 and 5.2.0-5.4.0, iWorkflow 2.3.0, and Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, an attacker with access to the device communication between the BIG-IP ASM Central Policy Builder and the BIG-IQ/Enterprise Manager/F5 iWorkflow will be able to set up the proxy the same way and intercept the traffic.

On BIG-IP 15.0.0 and 14.1.0-14.1.0.6, under certain conditions, network protections on the management port do not follow current best practices.

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 13.1.0-13.1.1.4, sensitive information is logged into the local log files and/or remote logging targets when restjavad processes an invalid request. Users with access to the log files would be able to view that data.

When the BIG-IP APM 14.1.0-14.1.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, or 11.5.1-11.6.5 system processes certain requests, the APD/APMD daemon may consume excessive resources.
