A vulnerability has been reported in BIG-IP, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass the user authentication.
The problem is that login credentials are cached for the Configuration utility and once a user is logged in, the entered password is not checked for subsequent sessions under that username.
Successful exploitation grants access without supplying a valid password.
The vulnerability affects versions 9.0.2 through 9.0.4.
OPERATING SYSTEM: BIG-IP 9.x
SOLUTION: Update to version 9.0.5 or apply patches.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by vendor.
