(CVE-2018-5515) Impact BIG-IP When a BIG-IP system receives a RADIUS authentication response from a IPv6 RADIUS server, the affected system produces a Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) core file and restarts TMM, resulting in a failover event. This vulnerability affects only BIG-IP systems configured with RADIUS authentication for BIG-IP administrative users. BIG-IQ / F5 iWorkflow / Enterprise Manager / ARX / LineRate / Traffix SDC There is no impact; these F5 products are not affected by this vulnerability. Security Advisory Status F5 Product Development has assigned ID 706086 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability. To determine if your product and version have been evaluated for this vulnerability, refer to the Applies to (see versions) box. To determine if your release is known to be vulnerable, the components or features that are affected by the vulnerability, and for information about releases or hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the following table. +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ | | |Versions |Fixes | |CVSSv3|Vulnerable | |Product |Branch|known to |introduced|Severity |score^|component or | | | |be |in | |1 |feature | | | |vulnerable| | | | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ |BIG-IP (LTM, | |13.0.0 - | | | | | |AAM, AFM, |13.x |13.1.0 |13.1.0.6 | | | | |Analytics, APM,| | | | | | | |ASM, DNS, Edge +------+----------+----------+ | |RADIUS auth | |Gateway, GTM, | | |Not | | |for BIG-IP | |Link |12.x |None |applicable|Medium |4.4 |administrative| |Controller, | | | | | |users | |PEM, +------+----------+----------+ | | | |WebAccelerator,| | |Not | | | | |WebSafe) |11.x |None |applicable| | | | | | | | | | | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ |ARX |6.x |None |Not |Not |None |None | | | | |applicable|vulnerable| | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ |Enterprise |3.x |None |Not |Not |None |None | |Manager | | |applicable|vulnerable| | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ | |5.x |None |Not | | | | |BIG-IQ | | |applicable|Not | | | |Centralized +------+----------+----------+vulnerable|None |None | |Management |4.x |None |Not | | | | | | | |applicable| | | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ |BIG-IQ Cloud | | |Not |Not | | | |and |1.x |None |applicable|vulnerable|None |None | |Orchestration | | | | | | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ |F5 iWorkflow |2.x |None |Not |Not |None |None | | | | |applicable|vulnerable| | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ |LineRate |2.x |None |Not |Not |None |None | | | | |applicable|vulnerable| | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ | |5.x |None |Not | | | | | | | |applicable|Not | | | |Traffix SDC +------+----------+----------+vulnerable|None |None | | |4.x |None |Not | | | | | | | |applicable| | | | +---------------+------+----------+----------+----------+------+--------------+ ^1The CVSSv3 score link takes you to a resource outside of AskF5, and it is possible that the document may be removed without our knowledge. ^2The 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 Fixes introduced in 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. Mitigation To mitigate this vulnerability, you should ensure that the BIG-IP system authenticates with a trusted and secure RADIUS server.
