When a highly-privileged, authenticated attacker attempts to initialize the rSeries FIPS module using a password with special shell metacharacters, arbitrary system commands may be executed, and the FIPS hardware security module (HSM) may fail to initialize. 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.

When a user attempts to initialize the rSeries FIPS module using a password with special shell metacharacters, the FIPS hardware security module (HSM) may fail to initialize.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in F5 BIG-IP und F5 F5OS ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmechanismen zu umgehen, seine Privilegien zu erhöhen, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand (DoS) herbeizuführen, einen Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriff (XSS) durchzuführen und Informationen offenzulegen oder zu manipulieren, sowie um Code auszuführen.
