Impact
Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow a malicious authenticated user
to retrieve arbitrary files or cause of a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 477278 (BIG-IP) and IDs 477590 and
477591 (Enterprise Manager) to these vulnerabilities.
To determine if your release is known to be vulnerable, the components or
features that are affected by the vulnerability, and for information about

Recommended Action
If the previous table lists a version in the Versions known to be not vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to the listed version.
If the table does not list any version in the column, then no upgrade candidate
currently exists.
To mitigate these vulnerabilities for BIG-IP and Enterprise Manager systems,
you can restrict access to the Configuration utility to only trusted networks,
and limit login access to trusted users.
