On BIG-IP version 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.3, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, when an authenticated administrative user installs RPMs using the iAppsLX REST installer, the BIG-IP system does not sufficiently validate user input, allowing the user read access to the filesystem.

In versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, and 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the resource information page for authenticated users when a full webtop is configured on the BIG-IP APM system.

In versions 14.1.0-14.1.3 and 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, a BIG-IP APM virtual server processing PingAccess requests may lead to a restart of the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) process.

In BIG-IP APM versions 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, 14.1.0-14.1.3, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, under certain conditions, the VDI plugin does not observe plugin flow-control protocol causing excessive resource consumption.

In BIG-IP APM versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.4, 15.0.0-15.0.1.3, 14.1.0-14.1.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, on systems running more than one TMM instance, authenticated VPN users may consume excessive resources by sending specially-crafted malicious traffic over the tunnel.

On BIG-IP versions 14.0.0-14.0.1 and 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, certain traffic pattern sent to a virtual server configured with an FTP profile can cause the FTP channel to break.

On BIG-IP versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, undisclosed endpoints in iControl REST allow for a reflected XSS attack, which could lead to a complete compromise of the BIG-IP system if the victim user is granted the admin role.

On versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.1, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.1, when a BIG-IP system that has a virtual server configured with an HTTP compression profile processes compressed HTTP message payloads that require deflation, a Slowloris-style attack can trigger an out-of-memory condition on the BIG-IP system.

On BIG-IP 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, Virtual servers with a OneConnect profile may incorrectly handle WebSockets related HTTP response headers, causing TMM to restart.

On BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, when negotiating IPSec tunnels with configured, authenticated peers, the peer may negotiate a different key length than the BIG-IP configuration would otherwise allow.

In Wireshark 3.0.0 to 3.0.1, 2.6.0 to 2.6.8, and 2.4.0 to 2.4.14, the dissection engine could crash. This was addressed in epan/packet.c by restricting the number of layers and consequently limiting recursion.

The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID.
