Descriptions

Specific F5 BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox FIPS HSM cards generate a deterministic password for the Crypto User account.  The predictable nature of the password allows an authenticated user with TMSH access to the BIG-IP system, or anyone with physical access to the FIPS HSM, the information required to generate the correct password.  On vCMP systems, all Guests share the same deterministic password, allowing those with TMSH access on one Guest to access keys of a different Guest.

The following BIG-IP hardware platforms are affected: 10350v-F, i5820-DF, i7820-DF, i15820-DF, 5250v-F, 7200v-F, 10200v-F, 6900-F, 8900-F, 11000-F, and 11050-F.

The BIG-IP rSeries r5920-DF and r10920-DF are not affected, nor does the issue affect software FIPS implementations or network HSM configurations.



Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Las plataformas F5 BIG-IP específicas con tarjetas Cavium Nitrox FIPS HSM generan una contraseña determinista para la cuenta Crypto User. La naturaleza predecible de la contraseña permite a un usuario autenticado con acceso TMSH al sistema BIG-IP, o a cualquiera con acceso físico al FIPS HSM, la información necesaria para generar la contraseña correcta. En los sistemas vCMP, todos los Guests comparten la misma contraseña determinista, lo que permite a aquellos con acceso TMSH en un Guest acceder a las claves de otro Guest diferente. Están afectadas las siguientes plataformas de hardware BIG-IP: 10350v-F, i5820-DF, i7820-DF, i15820-DF, 5250v-F, 7200v-F, 10200v-F, 6900-F, 8900-F, 11000-F, and 11050-F. Los sistemas BIG-IP rSeries r5920-DF y r10920-DF no se ven afectados y el problema tampoco afecta a las implementaciones FIPS de software ni a las configuraciones HSM de red. Nota: No se evalúan las versiones de software que han alcanzado el fin del soporte técnico (EoTS).
