Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27728)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Under certain conditions, Analytics, Visibility, and Reporting daemon (AVRD) may generate a core file and restart on the BIG-IP system when processing requests sent from mobile devices. A remote attacker can initiate a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on the AVRD process on the BIG-IP system from a mobile device.

This vulnerability occurs when all of the following conditions are met:

  • Mobile SDK is licensed and enabled.
  • An app using Mobile SDK on certain mobile devices sends a request to a virtual server with a Bot Defense profile.
  • The AVRD process sends the statistics to a BIG-IQ system or any external log server.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
