On versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.5, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2, when a BIG-IP APM virtual server processes traffic of an undisclosed nature, the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) stops responding and restarts.

On BIG-IP 15.1.0-15.1.0.5 and 14.1.0-14.1.3, crafted TLS request to the BIG-IP management interface via port 443 can cause high (~100%) CPU utilization by the httpd daemon.

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 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.

In BIG-IP versions 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, and 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, undisclosed TMUI page contains a stored cross site scripting vulnerability (XSS). The issue allows a minor privilege escalation for resource admin to escalate to full admin.

In BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.1.0.4, 14.1.0-14.1.2.7, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, and 11.6.1-11.6.5.2 and BIG-IQ 5.2.0-7.1.0, unauthenticated attackers can cause disruption of service via undisclosed methods.

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.
