(CVE-2015-0205) Impact If you have enabled client certificate authentication for the BIG-IP Configuration utility, a remote attacker with a client certificate that contains a static Diffie-Hellman (DH) key may be able to authenticate successfully without a private key and gain access to the BIG-IP Configuration utility. The affected client certificate must be signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) that is trusted by the BIG-IP system. By default, the BIG-IP Configuration utility does not use client certificate authentication for access control. Status F5 Product Development has assigned ID 500092 (BIG-IP) and LRS-37958 (LineRate) to this vulnerability, and has evaluated the currently supported releases for potential vulnerability. 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 or hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the following table: Product Versions known to be vulnerable Versions known to be not vulnerable Vulnerable component or feature BIG-IP LTM 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.0.0 - 11.4.1 10.1.0 - 10.2.4 Configuration utility BIG-IP AAM 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.4.0 - 11.4.1 Configuration utility BIG-IP AFM 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.3.0 - 11.4.1 Configuration utility BIG-IP Analytics 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.0.0 - 11.4.1 Configuration utility BIG-IP APM 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.0.0 - 11.4.1 10.1.0 - 10.2.4 Configuration utility BIG-IP ASM 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.0.0 - 11.4.1 10.1.0 - 10.2.4 Configuration utility BIG-IP GTM 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.0.0 - 11.4.1 10.1.0 - 10.2.4 Configuration utility BIG-IP Link Controller 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.0.0 - 11.4.1 10.1.0 - 10.2.4 Configuration utility BIG-IP PEM 11.5.0 - 11.6.0 11.3.0 - 11.4.1 Configuration utility LineRate 2.5.0 2.4.0 - 2.4.2 None OpenSSL Recommended Action If the previous table lists a version in the Versions known to be not vulnerable column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to the listed version. If the listed version is older than the version you are currently running, or if the table does not list any version in the column, then no upgrade candidate currently exists. F5 is responding to this vulnerability as determined by the parameters defined in SOL4602: Overview of the F5 security vulnerability response policy. BIG-IP To mitigate this vulnerability, you should consider the following recommendations: Revoke and reissue the affected client certificates, if applicable, for your environment. Disable client certificate authentication for the BIG-IP Configuration utility. To disable client certificate authentication for the BIG-IP Configuration utility, perform the following procedure: Impact of action: Performing the following procedure should not have a negative impact on your system. Log in to the tmsh utility. Disable the client certificate authentication by typing the following command: modify /sys httpd ssl-ca-cert-file none ssl-verify-client no Save the configuration to the configuration files by typing the following command: save /sys config LineRate To mitigate the risk posed by this vulnerability for the affected LineRate versions, you can remove the affected trusted Certificate Authority in the SSL component.
