F5 Networks BIG-IP : Directory Traversal and File Deletion (ID 363027)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 80119

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The 'properties.jsp' and 'tmui/Control/form' contain a flaw in how user-supplied parameters are validated, specifically the 'name' parameter. An authenticated user with the role of 'Resource Administrator' or 'Administrator' can exploit this flaw to arbitrarily enumerate and subsequently delete files on the system via standard HTTP requests using directory traversal sequences.

Solution

Upgrade to version 10.2.2 Hotfix 2 / version 11 or later.
