critical Nessus Plugin ID 94408

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The BIG-IP virtual server running on the remote host is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability. This issue exists in servers that are configured to use the HTTP Explicit Proxy functionality and/or SOCKS profile. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to modify the BIG-IP system configuration, disclose sensitive system files, or possibly execute arbitrary commands.

Note that this plugin only deals with explicit proxy mode HTTP profiles and may not detect the vulnerability when only a SOCKS profile is assigned to the virtual server.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution SOL35520031.
