F5 Networks BIG-IP : BIG-IP HSB vulnerability (K05710614)

high Nessus Plugin ID 205620

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 16.1.5 / 17.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K05710614 advisory.

 When a stateless virtual server is configured on a BIG-IP system with a High-Speed Bridge (HSB), undisclosed requests can cause virtual servers to stop processing client connections and the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.(CVE-2024-39778)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the F5 Networks BIG-IP security advisory.

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 K05710614.
