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 can secure the network failover VLAN so that only trusted users have physical and network access to the VLAN, or enable the failover.secure database variable. For more information on enabling the failover.secure database variable, refer to K90231443: Configuring secure network failover traffic Supplemental Information o K51812227: Understanding Security Advisory versioning o K41942608: Overview of Security Advisory articles o K4602: Overview of the F5 security vulnerability response policy o K4918: Overview of the F5 critical issue hotfix policy o K9502: BIG-IP hotfix and point release matrix o K13123: Managing BIG-IP product hotfixes (11.x - 15.x) o K167: Downloading software and firmware from F5 o K9970: Subscribing to email notifications regarding F5 products o K9957: Creating a custom RSS feed to view new and updated documents - --------------------------END INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- You have received this e-mail bulletin as a result of your organisation's registration with AusCERT.
