CVE-2019-6642

High

Description

In BIG-IP 15.0.0, 14.0.0-14.1.0.5, 13.0.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.4.2, and 11.5.2-11.6.4, BIG-IQ 6.0.0-6.1.0 and 5.1.0-5.4.0, iWorkflow 2.3.0, and Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, authenticated users with the ability to upload files (via scp, for example) can escalate their privileges to allow root shell access from within the TMOS Shell (tmsh) interface. The tmsh interface allows users to execute a secondary program via tools like sftp or scp.
