sol44611310: MySQL vulnerability CVE-2015-0411
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: 05/10/2016
Vulnerability Description
Unspecified vulnerability in Oracle MySQL Server 5.5.40 and earlier, and
5.6.21 and earlier, allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality,
integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Server :
Security : Encryption. (CVE-2015-0411)
Impact
This vulnerability may allow (through undisclosed mechanisms) a remote
unauthorized attacker to perform read and write MySQL access, receive
privilege escalation, or cause a denial-of-service (DoS) of the MySQL
service and potentially stop critical data plane services.
However, the BIG-IP and Enterprise Manager systems have default mitigations
in place through local user authentication requirements and tcp_wrappers
(BIG-IP 10.x/EM 2.x) and iptables (BIG-IP 11.x/EM 3.x) that downgrade the
access vector for this vulnerability limited to local and authenticated
users.
Important: Enabling the Remote Access feature on Enterprise Manager will
modify the tcp_wrappers (2.x) and iptables (3.x) rules to allow database
access. As a result, the vulnerable access vector for this vulnerability
is upgraded back to remote and unauthenticated. 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 Recommended Actions section.
Security Issue Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 508057 (BIG-IP) and ID 507720
(Enterprise Manager) to this vulnerability, and has evaluated the currently
supported releases for potential vulnerability. Additionally, BIG-IP iHealth
may list Heuristic H515699 on the Diagnostics > Identified > High screen.

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 not enable the Remote
Access feature to provide remote access to the statistical database. If you
have enabled the Remote Access feature, 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.
Log in to the Enterprise Manager Configuration utility.
Click Enterprise Management.
Navigate to Options > Statistics > Remote Access.
Clear the Allow Remote Access check box.
Click Save Changes.
