Vulnerability Recommended Actions
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.
To mitigate this vulnerability, you should permit management access to F5
products only over a secure network, and restrict access for affected systems
to trusted users. To do so, 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.
