On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, users with the Resource Administrator role can modify sensitive portions of the filesystem if provided Advanced Shell Access, such as editing /etc/passwd. This allows modifications to user objects and is contrary to our definition for the Resource Administrator (RA) role restrictions.

On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, a user with the Resource Administrator role is able to overwrite sensitive low-level files (such as /etc/passwd) using SFTP to modify user permissions, without Advanced Shell access. This is contrary to our definition for the Resource Administrator (RA) role restrictions.

On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, administrative users with TMSH access can overwrite critical system files on BIG-IP which can result in bypass of whitelist / blacklist restrictions enforced by appliance mode.

On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, Administrator and Resource Administrator roles might exploit TMSH access to bypass Appliance Mode restrictions on BIG-IP systems.

On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, and 12.1.0-12.1.4, internal methods used to prevent arbitrary file overwrites in Appliance Mode were not fully effective. An authenticated attacker with a high privilege level may be able to bypass protections implemented in appliance mode to overwrite arbitrary system files.

On BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, SNMP may expose sensitive configuration objects over insecure transmission channels. This issue is exposed when a passphrase is used with various profile types and is accessed using SNMPv2.

On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, DNS query TCP connections that are aborted before receiving a response from a DNS cache may cause TMM to restart.

When BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8 are processing certain rare data sequences occurring in PPTP VPN traffic, the BIG-IP system may execute incorrect logic. The TMM may restart and produce a core file as a result of this condition. The BIG-IP system provisioned with the CGNAT module and configured with a virtual server using a PPTP profile is exposed to this vulnerability.

On BIG-IP versions 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.0-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.1-11.5.8, the system is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when performing URL classification.

Platform dependent weakness. This issue only impacts iSeries platforms. On these platforms, in BIG-IP (LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, FPS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator) versions 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.3, and 12.1.1 HF2-12.1.4, the secureKeyCapable attribute was not set which causes secure vault to not use the F5 hardware support to store the unit key. Instead the unit key is stored in plaintext on disk as would be the case for Z100 systems. Additionally this causes the unit key to be stored in UCS files taken on these platforms.

On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3, 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, under certain conditions, the snmpd daemon may leak memory on a multi-blade BIG-IP vCMP guest when processing authorized SNMP requests.

On BIG-IP ASM 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3, 13.0.0-13.1.1.3, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, there is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in an ASM violation viewed in the Configuration utility. In the worst case, an attacker can store a CSRF which results in code execution as the admin user.

On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.6.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.3.7, 13.0.0-13.1.1.3, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, when processing certain SNMP requests with a request-id of 0, the snmpd process may leak a small amount of memory.

On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, and 12.0.x, an undisclosed sequence of packets received by an SSL virtual server and processed by an associated Client SSL or Server SSL profile may cause a denial of service.

On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3.6, 13.0.0-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, under certain conditions, hardware systems with a High-Speed Bridge and using non-default Layer 2 forwarding configurations may experience a lockup of the High-Speed Bridge.

In BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.8, 11.6.1-11.6.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3, and 13.0.0-13.0.1, malformed TCP packets sent to a self IP address or a FastL4 virtual server may cause an interruption of service. The control plane is not exposed to this issue. This issue impacts the data plane virtual servers and self IPs.

In BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.5.8 and 11.6.1-11.6.3, the Configuration Utility login page may not follow best security practices when handling a malicious request.

In BIG-IP 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.3.7, 11.6.1-11.6.3.2, or 11.5.1-11.5.8, the Application Acceleration Manager (AAM) wamd process used in processing of images and PDFs fails to drop group permissions when executing helper scripts.

In BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, 13.0.0-13.1.1.3, 12.1.0-12.1.3.7, 11.6.1-11.6.3.2, or 11.5.1-11.5.8, when remote authentication is enabled for administrative users and all external users are granted the "guest" role, unsanitized values can be reflected to the client via the login page. This can lead to a cross-site scripting attack against unauthenticated clients.

In BIG-IP 11.6.1-11.6.3.2 or 11.5.1-11.5.8, or Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, improper escaping of values in an undisclosed page of the configuration utility may result with an improper handling on the JSON response when it is injected by a malicious script via a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
