Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in various F5 products, which can be exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache.
The vulnerability is caused due to the products not sufficiently randomising the DNS transaction ID and the source port number, which can be exploited to poison the DNS cache.
The vulnerability affects the following products and versions:
* 3-DNS versions 4.5 - 4.5.14, 4.6 - 4.6.1, and 4.6.2 - 4.6.4
* BIG-IP versions 4.5 - 4.5.14, 4.6 - 4.6.1, and 4.6.2 - 4.6.4
* BIG-IP LTM versions 9.3 - 9.3.1, 9.4 - 9.4.5, and 9.6 - 9.6.1
* BIG-IP GTM versions 9.3 - 9.3.1 and 9.4 - 9.4.5
* BIG-IP ASM versions 9.3 - 9.3.1 and 9.4 - 9.4.5
* BIG-IP Link Controller versions 9.3 - 9.3.1 and 9.4 - 9.4.5
* BIG-IP WebAccelerator versions 9.4 - 9.4.5
* BIG-IP PSM version 9.4.5
* BIG-IP SAM version 8.0
* FirePass versions 5.5 - 5.5.2 and 6.0 - 6.0.2
* Enterprise Manager versions 1.2 - 1.4.1 and 1.6
* WANJet versions 5.0 - 5.0.2
NOTE: The vulnerability only affects products for which recursion is enabled. Reportedly only the BIG-IP LTM MSM module configured for local bind has recursion enabled by default.
Solution:
The vendor recommends disabling DNS recursion. Please see vendor's advisory for more details.
