K30573026: BIG-IP virtual server with FastL4 profile vulnerability
CVE-2022-23027
Original Publication Date: 19 Jan, 2022
Latest Publication Date: 19 Apr, 2022
Security Advisory Description
When a FastL4 profile and an HTTP, FIX, and/or hash persistence profile are
configured on the same virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause the
virtual server to stop processing new client connections. (CVE-2022-23027)
Impact
Traffic is disrupted for new client connections. This vulnerability allows an
unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the
BIG-IP system, specific to the impacted virtual server. There is no control
plane exposure; this is a data plane issue only.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 887965 (BIG-IP) to this
vulnerability. This issue has been classified as CWE-697: Incorrect Comparison
.
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 given minor branch, that fix applies to
all subsequent maintenance and point releases for that branch, and no
additional fixes for that branch will be listed in the table. For example, when
a fix is introduced in 14.1.2.3, the fix also applies to 14.1.2.4, and all
later 14.1.x releases (14.1.3.x., 14.1.4.x). For more information, refer to
K51812227: Understanding security advisory versioning. Additionally, software
versions preceding those listed in the Applies to (see versions) box of this
article have reached the End of Technical Support (EoTS) phase of their
lifecycle and are no longer evaluated for security issues. For more
information, refer to the Security hotfixes section of K4602: Overview of the
F5 security vulnerability response policy.

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
None
