K04280042:BIG-IP ASM vulnerability CVE-2019-6650
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 20 Sep, 2019
Security Advisory Description
F5 BIG-IP ASM may expose sensitive information and allow the system
configuration to be modified when using non-default settings. (CVE-2019-6650)
Impact
The vulnerability is only present on multi-bladed systems (VIPRION) with BIG-IP
ASM provisioned, on the following interfaces:
o Management interface in versions before BIG-IP 14.1.0.
o Any self IP with Port Lockdown configured as Allow All.
Note: Port Lockdown defaults to Allow None.
In both of the previous configurations, a malicious actor may be able to
connect to the affected interface to extract and/or modify sensitive
information on the system.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 807477 (BIG-IP ASM) to this
vulnerability.

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
F5 recommends upgrading to a fixed software version to fully mitigate this
vulnerability.
Note: It is not possible to provide these fixes in an engineering hotfix for
prior versions of software. A full upgrade to a fixed release version is
required.
If you are unable to upgrade the affected systems at this time, you may
consider using the following as an interim fix:
Self IP
Change the self IP port lockdown settings from Allow All to Allow None or Allow
Default. If you require additional ports to be opened, you should use Allow
Custom. F5 recommends avoiding the use of Allow All entirely. For more
information about configuring the port lockdown settings, refer to K17333:
Overview of port lockdown behavior (12.x - 15.x).
Management interface
Beginning in BIG-IP 14.1.0, the default iptables firewall rule for the
management interface blocks remote access to the BIG-IP ASM processes,
preventing exploitation of this issue on the management interface. F5
recommends upgrading systems running BIG-IP 14.1.0 or later to resolve the
underlying issue, preventing exposure if the rule is removed.
For versions prior to BIG-IP 14.1.0, there is no full mitigation available
other than upgrading to a fixed software version. A partial mitigation is
available from F5 Support.
