critical Nessus Plugin ID 138819

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 14.1.2.7 / 15.0.1.4 / 15.1.0.5 / 16.0.1 / 16.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K15320518 advisory.

 - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10.2 lacks certain xbean-reflect/JNDI blocking, as demonstrated by org.apache.xbean.propertyeditor.JndiConverter. (CVE-2020-8840)

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