OPERATING SYSTEM:

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in BIG-IP, which can be exploited
by malicious people to bypass the user authentication.

The problem is that login credentials are cached for the
Configuration utility and once a user is logged in, the entered
password is not checked for subsequent sessions under that username.

Successful exploitation grants access without supplying a valid
password.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 9.0.5 or apply patches.
