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 responds to vulnerabilities in accordance with the Severity values
published in the previous table. The Severity values and other security
vulnerability parameters are defined in SOL4602: Overview of the F5 security
vulnerability response policy.
*Note: As of February 17, 2005, AskF5 Security Advisory articles include the
Severity value. Security Advisory articles published before this date do not
list a Severity value.
To mitigate this vulnerability, expose the BIG-IP and Enterprise Manager
Configuration utilities on trusted networks, and limit login access to trusted
users.
