Vulnerability Recommended Actions

If the previous table lists a version in the Versions known to be not vulnerable column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to the listed version. If the listed version is older than the version you are currently running, or if the table does not list any version in the column, then no upgrade candidate currently exists.

To mitigate this vulnerability for BIG-IP, Enterprise Manager, and BIG-IQ, you should permit management access to F5 products only over a secure network and restrict command line access for affected systems to trusted users. For more information, refer to SOL13309: Restricting access to the Configuration utility by source IP address (11.x) and SOL13092: Overview of securing access to the BIG-IP system.

To mitigate this vulnerability for ARX, you should use the CLI instead of the ARX Manager GUI.
