On BIG-IP versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, undisclosed endpoints in iControl REST allow for a reflected XSS attack, which could lead to a complete compromise of the BIG-IP system if the victim user is granted the admin role.
In versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1 and 15.1.0-15.1.1, on specific BIG-IP platforms, attackers may be able to obtain TCP sequence numbers from the BIG-IP system that can be reused in future connections with the same source and destination port and IP numbers. Only these platforms are affected: BIG-IP 2000 series (C112), BIG-IP 4000 series (C113), BIG-IP i2000 series (C117), BIG-IP i4000 series (C115), BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE).
In versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.3, 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, 14.1.0-14.1.2.6, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) systems on VMware, with an Intel-based 85299 Network Interface Controller (NIC) card and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) enabled on vSphere, may fail and leave the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) in a state where it cannot transmit traffic.
In versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, and 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), also known as the BIG-IP Configuration utility.
On BIG-IP versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1 and 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, using the RESOLV::lookup command within an iRule may cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to generate a core file and restart. This issue occurs when data exceeding the maximum limit of a hostname passes to the RESOLV::lookup command.
In BIG-IP PEM versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, when processing Capabilities-Exchange-Answer (CEA) packets with certain attributes from the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) server, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) may generate a core file and restart.
In BIG-IP versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, and 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, undisclosed TMUI page contains a stored cross site scripting vulnerability (XSS). The issue allows a minor privilege escalation for resource admin to escalate to full admin.
The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID.
