SOL16913 - OpenSSL vulnerability CVE-2015-1789

• For BIG-IP, BIG-IQ, and Enterprise Manager systems, the vulnerable code exists in the OpenSSL package; however, the code is not used in a way that would make an exploit possible.

** While BIG-IP v12.0.0 ships with an OpenSSL version prior to 1.0.1n, the libraries necessary to fix the issue were merged with the BIG-IP system’s OpenSSL implementation.

*** The default configuration of the LineRate system is not vulnerable; this vulnerability can only be exploited when the scripting feature is configured to make HTTPS requests to a compromised server.
