BIG-IP Configuration Utility Login Credentials Caching Vulnerability

Tuesday, April 26 2005 @ 09:25 AM EDT

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:
