Security Advisory Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version
than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version,
then no upgrade candidate currently exists.
Note: For details about how Security Advisory articles are versioned, and what
versions are listed in the table, refer to K51812227: Understanding Security
Advisory versioning.
Mitigation
To temporarily mitigate this vulnerability, you can restart the apmd process.
To do so, perform the following procedure:
Impact of action: The BIG-IP APM system fails to process traffic while the apmd
process restarts. The following procedure stops the BIG-IP APM system from
actively disclosing sensitive logging information. However, the procedure does
not prevent the vulnerability from occurring.
1. Log in to the TMOS Shell (tmsh) by typing the following command:
tmsh
2. Restart the apmd process by typing the following command:
restart /sys /service apmd
