F5 Networks BIG-IP : iControl REST vulnerability (K99998454)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 91552

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The iControl REST service in F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, Link Controller, and PEM 11.5.x before 11.5.4, 11.6.x before 11.6.1, and 12.x before 12.0.0 HF3; BIG-IP DNS 12.x before 12.0.0 HF3;
BIG-IP GTM 11.5.x before 11.5.4 and 11.6.x before 11.6.1; BIG-IQ Cloud and Security 4.0.0 through 4.5.0; BIG-IQ Device 4.2.0 through 4.5.0;
BIG-IQ ADC 4.5.0; BIG-IQ Centralized Management 4.6.0; and BIG-IQ Cloud and Orchestration 1.0.0 allows remote authenticated administrators to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-5021)

Impact

An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges and access to the iControl REST interface may be able to craft a malicious query resulting in information disclosure. Because 'Common Criteria' mode deployments disable the iControl REST service, the vulnerable code exists, but is not exposed to a remote network access vector.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution K99998454.
