descriptionF5 BIG-IP and Enterprise Manager may expose sensitive information and allow the system configuration to be modified when using non-default ConfigSync settings.(CVE-2019-6649) Impact The vulnerability is only present when the system is configured for high availability (HA)and either of the following settings are used : ConfigSync is using a self IP with Port Lockdown configured as Allow All . Note : Port Lockdown defaults to Allow None . ConfigSync is configured to use the management interface.The database variable configsync.allowmanagement must be set to enable to allow this configuration (default is disable ).Check the configuration by typing the following command at the shell prompt: tmsh list /sys db configsync.allowmanagement Note : This is an uncommon configuration. Systems that are not running with either configuration are not affected. Note : BIG-IQ systems and iWorkflow systems are not affected. In both of the previously described configurations, a malicious actor may be able to connect to the interface used for ConfigSync to extract and/or modify sensitive information on the system. Additionally, when ConfigSync is configured to use the management interface, sensitive information may be transmitted unencrypted, risking information disclosure to and modification by anyone in the path of the traffic.

Impact

The vulnerability is only present when the system is configured for
high availability (HA)and either of the following settings are used :

ConfigSync is using a self IP with Port Lockdown configured as Allow
All .

Note : Port Lockdown defaults to Allow None .

ConfigSync is configured to use the management interface.The database
variable configsync.allowmanagement must be set to enable to allow
this configuration (default is disable ).Check the configuration by
typing the following command at the shell prompt: tmsh list /sys db
configsync.allowmanagement

Note : This is an uncommon configuration.

Systems that are not running with either configuration are not
affected.

Note : BIG-IQ systems and iWorkflow systems are not affected.

In both of the previously described configurations, a malicious actor
may be able to connect to the interface used for ConfigSync to extract
and/or modify sensitive information on the system.

Additionally, when ConfigSync is configured to use the management
interface, sensitive information may be transmitted unencrypted,
risking information disclosure to and modification by anyone in the
path of the traffic."
