TITLE

F5 BIG-IP Unknown vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Unknown vulnerability in F5 BIG-IP 9.0.2 through 9.1 allows attackers to "subvert the authentication of SSL transactions," via unknown attack vectors, possibly involving NATIVE ciphers. F5 BIG-IP is susceptible to an unspecified SSL authentication bypass vulnerability. It is conjectured that if the BIG-IP is configured to authenticate by utilizing certificate-based authentication, attackers may be able to bypass the requested authentication checks. This allows remote attackers to gain access to protected Web sites. Depending on the nature of the protected Web sites, various further attacks may also be possible. Further details are not currently available. This BID will be updated as more information is disclosed. Versions of BIP-IP from 9.0.2 through to 9.1 are affected. F5 BIG-IP is an all-in-one network device integrated with network traffic management, application security management, load balancing and other functions from F5 Corporation of the United States. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bist Du interessiert an einem neuen Job in IT-Sicherheit?
