high Nessus Plugin ID 156826

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 13.1.5 / 14.1.4.5 / 15.1.4.1 / 16.1.2 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K24358905 advisory.

 - On BIG-IP AFM version 16.1.x before 16.1.2, 15.1.x before 15.1.4.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.5, and 13.1.x beginning in 13.1.3.4, when a virtual server is configured with both HTTP protocol security and HTTP Proxy Connect profiles, undisclosed requests can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.
 Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
 (CVE-2022-23018)

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