medium Nessus Plugin ID 177584

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 14.1.5.3 / 15.1.8.1 / 16.1.3.3 / 17.0.0.2 / 17.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K83284425 advisory.

 - In BIG-IP versions 17.0.x before 17.0.0.2, 16.1.x before 16.1.3.3, 15.1.x before 15.1.8.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.5.3, and all versions of 13.1.x, and all versions of BIG-IQ 8.x and 7.1.x, incorrect permission assignment vulnerabilities exist in the iControl REST and TMOS shell (tmsh) dig command which may allow an authenticated attacker with resource administrator or administrator role privileges to view sensitive information. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
