Vulnerability from variot

bigconf.conf in F5 BIG/ip 2.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by specifying the target file in the "file" parameter. BigIP is a load balancing system from F5 software. It has a web-based configuration system, which is vulnerable to several standard CGI attacks. According to Guy Cohen guy@crypto.org.il, it is possible to view arbitrary files on the BSDI system which it is installed on. To add to this, the configuration program is installed setuid root. This is considered a local vulnerability since htaccess authentication is required to get to the configuration area. No more information on this vulnerability is available. It has a web management interface and configures the program through some CGI scripts. There is an input validation vulnerability in the \"bigconf.cgi\" script in the software package, allowing remote attackers to view arbitrary system files with the authority of the Web Server process. The bug finder did not provide further clarification
