Network administrators are urged to patch their F5 BIG-IP application delivery controllers following the disclosure of a pair of critical remote takeover bugs. The flaws in question, CVE-2020-5902 and CVE-2020-5903, lie within in a configuration tool known as the Traffic Management User Interface.
Critical and high-severity vulnerabilities discovered by researchers in F5 Networks' BIG-IP application delivery controller allow a remote attacker to take complete control of the targeted system. The vulnerabilities were identified by researchers at cybersecurity firm Positive Technologies, which disclosed its findings this week after the vendor released advisories and announced the availability of patches.
F5 Networks announced the appointment of Sri Shivananda to its Board of Directors. Shivananda brings a strong leadership background to F5's Board, along with valuable expertise in key technology areas.

"Our security strategy is rooted in what customers are trying to accomplish-optimum app performance with maximized uptime, lower overall costs, and reduced losses due to fraud or abuse," said John Morgan, VP and GM of Security at F5. "Security remains a key area where we see conflict between increasing business velocity and implementing adequate protections. F5's application security solutions free developers to focus on the application business logic and customer experience while also providing world-class threat protection with policy and control consistency across on-prem and cloud environments."
