K31523465: BIG-IP TMM vulnerability CVE-2022-41983
Original Publication Date: 19 Oct, 2022
Latest Publication Date: 21 Oct, 2022
Security Advisory Description
While Intel QAT (QuickAssist Technology) and the AES-GCM/CCM cipher is in use,
undisclosed conditions cause the BIG-IP system to send data unencrypted, even
with an SSL profile applied. (CVE-2022-41983)
Impact
This vulnerability may expose confidential information to a man-in-the-middle
attacker, as data is sent without required encryption. Since this vulnerability
results in a TLS record with a bad MAC, the connection will typically be
aborted due to failed MAC verification after decrypt.
This vulnerability applies to the following platforms:
o B4450N (A114)
o i4000 (C115)
o i10000 (C116/C127)
o i7000 (C118)
o i5000 (C119)
o i11000 (C123)
o i11000-DS (C124)
o i15000 (D116)
o 2000 (C112)
o 4000 (C113)
o F5 rSeries
o F5 VELOS
o BIG-IP Virtual Edition on Hypervisors with Intel Processors, when
configured to use Intel QAT.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 881809 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.
This issue has been classified as CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive
Information.
To determine if your product and version have been evaluated for this
vulnerability, refer to the Applies to (see versions) box. To determine if your
release is known to be vulnerable, the components or features that are affected
by the vulnerability, and for information about releases, point releases, or
hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the following tables. You can
also use iHealth to diagnose a vulnerability for BIG-IP and BIG-IQ systems. For
more information about using iHealth, refer to K27404821: Using F5 iHealth to

Note: After a fix is introduced for a given minor branch, that fix applies to
all subsequent maintenance and point releases for that branch, and no
additional fixes for that branch will be listed in the table. For example, when
a fix is introduced in 14.1.2.3, the fix also applies to 14.1.2.4, and all
later 14.1.x releases (14.1.3.x., 14.1.4.x). For more information, refer to

Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by installing a version listed in
the Fixes introduced in column. If the Fixes introduced in column does not list
a version for your branch, then no update candidate currently exists for that
branch and F5 recommends upgrading to a version with the fix (refer to the
table).
If the Fixes introduced in column lists a version prior to the one you are
running, in the same branch, then your version should have the fix.
Mitigation
None
