K22317030: iControl REST vulnerability CVE-2017-6145
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: Jul 13, 2017
Updated Date: Jul 19, 2017
Security Advisory Description
iControl REST includes a service to convert authorization BIGIPAuthCookie
cookies to X-F5-Auth-Token tokens. This service does not properly re-validate
cookies when making that conversion, allowing once-valid but now expired
cookies to be converted to valid tokens. (CVE-2017-6145)
Impact
An attacker with an expired BIG-IP authentication cookie can use it to get
valid iControl REST authentication tokens in order to gain access to the
iControl REST interface of the BIG-IP system.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 641445 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.
Additionally, BIG-IP iHealth may list Heuristic H22317030 on the Diagnostics >
Identified > High screen.

Security Advisory 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.
To determine the necessary upgrade path for your BIG-IQ system, you should
understand the BIG-IQ product offering name changes. For more information,
refer to K21232150: Considerations for upgrading BIG-IQ or F5 iWorkflow systems.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, you should permit management access to F5
products only over a secure network and restrict command line access for
affected systems to trusted users. For more information, refer to K13309:
Restricting access to the Configuration utility by source IP address (11.x -
13.x) and K13092: Overview of securing access to the BIG-IP system.
