Impact

BIG-IP

Administrative interfaces, such as iControl SOAP, are vulnerable to a
denial-of-service (DoS) attack if a malicious XML document is uploaded
to and processed by the BIG-IP system. The XML process in the data
plane is not affected.

This XML external entity vulnerability may allow attackers to put the
parser in an infinite loop using a malformed external entity
definition.");
