Category:F5 Local Security Checks
Title:F5 BIG-IP - Privilege escalation vulnerability CVE-2015-7393
Summary:The remote host is missing a security patch.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing a security patch.

Vulnerability Insight:
The dcoep executable as shipped with BIG-IP versions 11.2.0 through 12.0.0 allows a local privilege escalation via undisclosed vectors to an authenticated local user.

Vulnerability Impact:
A locally authenticated user with advanced shell (bash) access may be able to escalate privileges and gain administrative access. However, in order for a lower privilege user to exploit this vulnerability, the user account would need to be granted advanced shell (bash) access through manual modification of the Linux configuration files. This configuration is not supported on the affected F5 platforms.

Solution:
See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution.

CVSS Score:
6.9
