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 permit only authorized physical
access to F5 products. Additionally, you should permit management access to F5
products only over a secure network, and limit 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.
The trusted users with access to the Configuration utility should take
precaution when clicking hyperlinks from untrusted or unknown sources. The
attack for this vulnerability is most likely to come in the form of a phishing
attack.
