F5 Networks BIG-IP : BIG-IP TMM vulnerability (K31523465)

low Nessus Plugin ID 166236

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 14.1.5.1 / 15.1.7 / 16.1.3.1 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K31523465 advisory.

 - On specific hardware platforms, on BIG-IP versions 16.1.x before 16.1.3.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.7, 14.1.x before 14.1.5.1, and all versions of 13.1.x, while Intel QAT (QuickAssist Technology) and the AES-GCM/CCM cipher is in use, undisclosed conditions can cause BIG-IP to send data unencrypted even with an SSL Profile applied. (CVE-2022-41983)

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 K31523465.
