Impact
The vulnerabilities included in this advisory are reported to allow a remote
authenticated user to affect confidentiality, integrity, and the availability
of the MySQL service through undisclosed mechanisms. Exploitation of these
vulnerabilities can potentially stop critical data plane services.
However, the BIG-IP system is not exposed to these vulnerabilities unless
MySQL is provisioned or running. When BIG-IP Analytics (AVR), ASM, AFM, or APM
is provisioned, the system will enable MySQL to run and will then be exposed
to these vulnerabilities. You can verify the status of MySQL by using the
bigstart status mysql command.
Additionally, the BIG-IP and Enterprise Manager systems have default
mitigations in place through local user authentication requirements and
tcp_wrappers (BIG-IP 10.x), and iptables (BIG-IP 11.x / EM 3.x) that downgrade
the access vector for these vulnerabilities limited to local and authenticated
users.
Important: Enabling the Remote Access feature on Enterprise Manager systems
will modify the iptables (3.x) rules to allow database access. As a result,
the vulnerable access vector for these vulnerabilities is upgraded back to
remote. The Enterprise Manager Remote Access feature is disabled by default;
if you have enabled the Remote Access feature, refer to the Disabling the
Remote Access feature procedure in the Vulnerability Recommended Actions
section.
Security Issue Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 502493 (BIG-IP) and ID 556684

Vulnerability 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 Versions known to be not vulnerable 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.
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.
To mitigate this vulnerability for BIG-IP and Enterprise Manager systems, you
should permit management access to F5 products only over a secure network and
limit shell access to only trusted users. For more information, refer to
SOL13309: Restricting access to the Configuration utility by source IP address
(11.x - 12.x) and SOL13092: Overview of securing access to the BIG-IP system.
Additionally, for Enterprise Manager, you should avoid enabling the Remote
Access feature to provide remote access to the statistical database. If you
have the Remote Access feature enabled, you should disable it by performing
the following procedure:
Disabling the Remote Access feature
Impact of action: You will no longer be allowed to remotely access the MySQL
statistical database.
1. Log in to the Enterprise Manager Configuration utility.
2. Click Enterprise Management.
3. Navigate to Options > Statistics > Remote Access.
4. Clear the Allow Remote Access check box.
5. Click Save Changes.
