Description

The BIG-IP platform contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to checktrap.pl not properly sanitizing input from syslog before using it to construct a shell command. It is possible that the flaw may allow an attacker to gain control of the system resulting in a loss of integrity. This issue does not affect "default" installations.
