K44482551: Intel I210 network adapter vulnerability CVE-2020-0525
Original Publication Date: 25 Mar, 2021
Security Advisory Description
Improper access control in firmware for the Intel(R) Ethernet I210 Controller
series of network adapters before version 3.30 may allow a privileged user to
potentially enable denial of service via local access. (CVE-2020-0525)
Impact
The BIG-IP management network port uses the Intel 1210 network adapter. This
vulnerability affects the BIG-IP management interface, including access to SSH
and the Configuration utility. A complete compromise results in the loss of
access to the management interface, but you can still access the BIG-IP system
through the serial console interface, which is not part of the BIG-IP data
path.
The following BIG-IP platforms contain the affected Intel I210 network adapter:
o BIG-IP i2xxx
o BIG-IP i4xxx
o BIG-IP i5xxx
o BIG-IP i7xxx
o BIG-IP i10xxx
o BIG-IP i11xxx
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 999205 (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, point 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.
Note: After a fix is introduced for a vulnerable version, that fix applies to
all subsequent point releases for that version and no additional fixes for that
version will be listed in the table. For example, when a fix is introduced in
14.1.2.3, the fix applies to 14.1.2.4 and all later point releases.

Technical Support (EoTS) phase of their lifecycle.
^2The CVSSv3 score link takes you to a resource outside of AskF5, and it is
possible that the document may be removed without our knowledge.
Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by installing a version listed in
the Fixes introduced in column. If the Fixes introduced in column does not list
a version for your branch, then no update candidate currently exists for that
branch and F5 recommends upgrading to a version with the fix (refer to the
table).
If the Fixes introduced in column lists a version prior to the one you are
running, in the same branch, then your version should have the fix.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability for affected F5 products, you should only permit
management access to F5 products over a secure network and limit shell access
to 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 - 16.x) and K13092: Overview
of securing access to the BIG-IP system.
