TITLE

F5 FirePass Pre-Encryption Token Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

F5's FirePass server is a powerful network device that provides users with secure access to corporate networks through any standard web browser. The controller has an error when receiving the pre-login sequence token, and an attacker can exploit the vulnerability to access the login page from a non-compliant workstation using a token generated by a compatible workstation. Part of the input passed to the pre-login page lacks sufficient filtering before returning to the user, which can trigger a cross-site scripting attack, gain sensitive information, or gain unauthorized access to the application. F5 FirePass is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to gain access to restricted content. This can lead to other attacks. F5 FirePass 5.5.2 and 6.1 are vulnerable; other versions may be affected. F5 FirePass is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the web interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "From 2007 to 2009 vulnerabilities in a typical end-user PC almost doubled from about 220 to 420."
