BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox SSL hardware acceleration cards, a virtual server configured with a Client SSL profile, and using AnonymousDiffie-Hellman (ADH) or Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman(DHE) key exchange and Single DH use option not enabled in the options list may be vulnerable to crafted SSL/Transport Layer Security (TLS) handshakes that may result with a pre-master secret (PMS)that starts in a 0 byte and may lead to a recovery of plaintext messages as BIG-IP TLS/SSL ADH/DHE sends different error messages acting as an oracle.
Differences in processing time when the PMS starts with 0 byte coupled with very precise timing measurement observation may also expose this vulnerability. (CVE-2020-5929)
Impact
Exploiting this vulnerability requires multiple crafted SSL/TLS handshakes to the vulnerable BIG-IP virtual server. This vulnerability may make it possible to recover the shared secret of past sessions and perform plaintext recovery of encrypted messages.Only SSL/TLS sessions established using cipher suites that use ADH or DHEkey exchange are vulnerable to this attack. Captured SSL/TLS sessions encrypted with cipher suites using the RSA key exchange are not at risk for subsequent decryption due to this vulnerability.
This vulnerability affects BIG-IP systems with virtual servers associated with a Client SSL profile and only if all of the following conditions are met :
You are using ADH or DHE key exchange in the Client SSL profile. Note :DHE is enabled by defaultin the DEFAULT cipher suite. ADH is not available in the DEFAULT cipher suite.
You have not enabled the Single Diffie-Hellman use optionor Single DH use optionin the Client SSL profile. Note : The Single DHuse optionis not enabled by default in the Client SSL profile options list.
Your BIG-IP platform has a Cavium Nitrox SSL hardware acceleration card installed. Platforms with this installed include: BIG-IP i11400-DS, i11600-DS, i11800-DS
BIG-IP 800, 1600, 3600, 3900, 5000, 6900, 7000, 8900, 10000, 11000, 12000
