In BIG-IP 15.0.0, 14.0.0-14.1.0.5, 13.0.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.4.2, and 11.5.2-11.6.4, BIG-IQ 6.0.0-6.1.0 and 5.1.0-5.4.0, iWorkflow 2.3.0, and Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, authenticated users with the ability to upload files (via scp, for example) can escalate their privileges to allow root shell access from within the TMOS Shell (tmsh) interface. The tmsh interface allows users to execute a secondary program via tools like sftp or scp.

A race condition which may occur when discarding malformed packets can result in BIND exiting due to a REQUIRE assertion failure in dispatch.c. Versions affected: BIND 9.11.0 -> 9.11.7, 9.12.0 -> 9.12.4-P1, 9.14.0 -> 9.14.2. Also all releases of the BIND 9.13 development branch and version 9.15.0 of the BIND 9.15 development branch and BIND Supported Preview Edition versions 9.11.3-S1 -> 9.11.7-S1.

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel default MSS is hard-coded to 48 bytes. This allows a remote peer to fragment TCP resend queues significantly more than if a larger MSS were enforced. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This has been fixed in stable kernel releases 4.4.182, 4.9.182, 4.14.127, 4.19.52, 5.1.11, and is fixed in commits 967c05aee439e6e5d7d805e195b3a20ef5c433d6 and 5f3e2bf008c2221478101ee72f5cb4654b9fc363.

Buffer overflow in the mcpq daemon in F5 BIG-IP systems 10.x before 10.2.4 HF12, 11.x before 11.2.1 HF15, 11.3.x, 11.4.x before 11.4.1 HF9, 11.5.x before 11.5.2 HF1, and 11.6.0 before HF4, and Enterprise Manager 2.1.0 through 2.3.0 and 3.x before 3.1.1 HF5 allows remote authenticated administrators to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.

Multiple XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerabilities in the Configuration utility in F5 BIG-IP LTM, ASM, GTM, and Link Controller 11.0 through 11.6.0 and 10.0.0 through 10.2.4, AAM 11.4.0 through 11.6.0, ARM 11.3.0 through 11.6.0, Analytics 11.0.0 through 11.6.0, APM and Edge Gateway 11.0.0 through 11.6.0 and 10.1.0 through 10.2.4, PEM 11.3.0 through 11.6.0, PSM 11.0.0 through 11.4.1 and 10.0.0 through 10.2.4, and WOM 11.0.0 through 11.3.0 and 10.0.0 through 10.2.4 and Enterprise Manager 3.0.0 through 3.1.1 and 2.1.0 through 2.3.0 allow remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files and cause a denial of service via a crafted request, as demonstrated using (1) viewList or (2) deal elements.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in tmui/dashboard/echo.jsp in the Configuration utility in F5 BIG-IP LTM, APM, ASM, GTM, and Link Controller 11.0.0 before 11.6.0 and 10.1.0 through 10.2.4, AAM 11.4.0 before 11.6.0, AFM and PEM 11.3.0 before 11.6.0, Analytics 11.0.0 through 11.5.1, Edge Gateway, WebAccelerator, and WOM 11.0.0 through 11.3.0 and 10.1.0 through 10.2.4, and PSM 11.0.0 through 11.4.1 and 10.1.0 through 10.2.4 and Enterprise Manager 3.0.0 through 3.1.1 and 2.1.0 through 2.3.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

The rsync daemon in F5 BIG-IP 11.6 before 11.6.0, 11.5.1 before HF3, 11.5.0 before HF4, 11.4.1 before HF4, 11.4.0 before HF7, 11.3.0 before HF9, and 11.2.1 before HF11 and Enterprise Manager 3.x before 3.1.1 HF2, when configured in failover mode, does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to read or write to arbitrary files via a cmi request to the ConfigSync IP address.

GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-025 processes trailing strings after certain malformed function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to write to files or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271.
