Description
When BIG-IP DNS is provisioned, a vulnerability exists in an undisclosed iControl REST and BIG-IP TMOS Shell (tmsh) command that may allow an authenticated attacker with the Resource Administrator or Administrator role to execute arbitrary system commands with higher privileges. In Appliance mode deployments, a successful exploit can allow the attacker to cross a security boundary. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Affected configurations
• f5 big-ip domain name system (>= 16.1.0 <= 16.1.6)
• f5 big-ip domain name system (>= 17.1.0 <= 17.1.3)
• f5 big-ip domain name system (>= 17.5.0 <= 17.5.1)
