F5 Networks BIG-IP : BIG-IP SSL vulnerability (K14229426)

high Nessus Plugin ID 160557

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 14.1.4.6 / 15.1.5 / 16.1.2.2 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K14229426 advisory.

 - On F5 BIG-IP LTM, Advanced WAF, ASM, or APM 16.1.x versions prior to 16.1.2.2, 15.1.x versions prior to 15.1.5, 14.1.x versions prior to 14.1.4.6, and all versions of 13.1.x, 12.1.x, and 11.6.x, when a virtual server is configured with HTTP, TCP on one side (client/server), and DTLS on the other (server/client), undisclosed requests can cause the TMM process to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated (CVE-2022-29491)

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