Details
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in F5 FirePass 6.0/6.1.0/7.0.0. This affects some unknown functionality of the component User Input Sanitizer. The manipulation of the argument filename with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
Directory traversal vulnerability in an unspecified signed Java applet in the client-side components in F5 BIG-IP APM 10.1.0 through 10.2.4 and 11.0.0 through 11.3.0, FirePass 6.0.0 through 6.1.0 and 7.0.0, and other products "when APM is provisioned," allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the filename parameter.
