K08383757: perl-XML-Twig vulnerability CVE-2016-9180

Security Advisory

Original Publication Date: Feb 11, 2017
Updated Date: Dec 27, 2017

Applies to (see versions):

Security Advisory Description

perl-XML-Twig: The option to `expand_external_ents`, documented as controlling
external entity expansion in XML::Twig does not work. External entities are
always expanded, regardless of the option's setting. (CVE-2016-9180)

Impact

An authenticated user with a BIG-IP ASM administrative role, such as Policy
Editor, may be able to craft an XML message which, when processed by the
ASMConfig process using perl-XML-Twig, may cause a denial of service (DoS)
or potentially an information disclosure.

Security Advisory Status

F5 Product Development has assigned ID 641311 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability.
Additionally, BIG-IP iHealth may list Heuristic H644152 on the Diagnostics >
Identified > High screen.

^1 The specified products contain the affected code. However, F5 identifies the
vulnerability status as Not vulnerable because the attacker cannot exploit the
code in default, standard, or recommended configurations.

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.
