F5 Networks BIG-IP : IP Intelligence Feed List vulnerability (K11464209)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 118629

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 11.5.6 / 11.6.3 / 12.1.2 HF1 / 13.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K11464209 advisory.

 - X509 certificate verification was not correctly implemented in the IP Intelligence Subscription and IP Intelligence feed-list features, and thus the remote server's identity is not properly validated in F5 BIG-IP 12.0.0-12.1.2, 11.6.0-11.6.2, or 11.5.0-11.5.5. (CVE-2017-6143)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution K11464209.
