Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of insecue Anonymous Diffie-Hellman (ADH) or Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) ciphers. A remote attacker can use multiple crafted SSL/TLS handshakes to the vulnerable BIG-IP virtual server, recover the shared secret of past sessions and perform plaintext recovery of encrypted messages.

Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
