K75532331:iRulesLX debug NodeJS vulnerability CVE-2019-6644
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 09 Aug, 2019
Security Advisory Description
Similar to the issue identified in CVE-2018-12120, the BIG-IP system will bind
a debug nodejs process to all interfaces when invoked. This may expose the
process to unauthorized users if the plugin is left in debug mode and the port
is accessible. (CVE-2019-6644)
Impact
A remote attacker may be able to attach a remote computer to the debug port and
evaluate arbitrary JavaScript.
BIG-IP systems in a standard, default configuration are not vulnerable. This
vulnerability requires the BIG-IP systems to be provisioned for iRulesLX and
have a workspace that includes an extension configuration including the
"-debug" flag, which must be manually added.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 754103 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.
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 or hotfixes that
address the vulnerability, refer to the following table. For more information
about security advisory versioning, refer to K51812227: Understanding Security
Advisory versioning.

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.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, you should consider the following
recommendations:
o Permit management access to F5 products only over a secure network, and
limit shell access to only trusted users. For more information about
securing access to BIG-IP and Enterprise Manager systems, refer to K13309:
Restricting access to the Configuration utility by source IP address (11.x
- 15.x) and K13092: Overview of securing access to the BIG-IP system.
o Lock down management port access and configure the self IP port lockdown
feature to disallow unneeded ports on all self IP addresses. For more
information, refer to K13250: Overview of port lockdown behavior (10.x -
11.x) or K17333: Overview of port lockdown behavior (12.x - 15.x). Note:
The default self IP port-lockdown settings block the affected connections
on self IP addresses. You must explicitly enable Allow-All or have the port
on the Allow list in order to expose the vulnerability.
o F5 recommends that you use the node debugger capabilities on a
non-production BIG-IP system.
