Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 2225269 (F5OS-A and F5OS-C) to this
vulnerability.
To determine if your product and version have been evaluated for this
vulnerability, refer to the Evaluated products box. To determine if your
release is known to be vulnerable, the components or features that are affected
by the vulnerability, and for information about releases, point releases, or
hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the following tables. You can
also use iHealth to diagnose a vulnerability for BIG-IP, BIG-IQ, and F5OS
systems. For more information about using iHealth, refer to K27404821: Using F5
iHealth to diagnose vulnerabilities. For more information about security
advisory versioning, refer to K51812227: Understanding security advisory
versioning.

BIG-IP Next
Note: After F5 releases a fix for a given branch, that fix applies to all
subsequent minor, maintenance, and point releases for that branch; F5 will not
list additional fixes for that branch in the table. For example, when F5
releases a fix in BIG-IP Next SPK 2.0.1, the fix also applies to 2.0.2 and all
later 2.0.x releases. For more information, refer to K51812227: Understanding
security advisory versioning.

Security Advisory Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by installing a version listed in
the Fixes introduced in column. If the Fixes introduced in column does not list
a version for your branch, then no update candidate currently exists for that
branch and F5 recommends that you upgrade to a version with the fix (refer to
the tables).
If the Fixes introduced in column lists a version prior to the one you are
running, in the same branch, then your version should have the fix.
Mitigation
None
