F5 Networks BIG-IP : TMM IPv6 stack vulnerability (K64124988)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 160569

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 / 14.1.4.6 / 15.1.5.1 / 16.1.0 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K64124988 advisory.

 - On F5 BIG-IP 15.1.x versions prior to 15.1.5.1, 14.1.x versions prior to 14.1.4.6, 13.1.x versions prior to 13.1.5, and all versions of 12.1.x and 11.6.x, and F5 BIG-IQ Centralized Management all versions of 8.x and 7.x, when an IPv6 self IP address is configured and the ipv6.strictcompliance database key is enabled (disabled by default) on a BIG-IP system, undisclosed packets may cause decreased performance. Note:
 Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated (CVE-2022-29479)

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 K64124988.
