OpenSSL and management console

I am running 11.4.1 HF8. The management console is still using OpenSSL 0.9.8y, which our internal security scanner doesn't like. Is there a patch that I missed, or is that the current supported version? I can always argue that it's internal and can therefore ignore the vulnerability, but I'd like to make it go away if I can.

 

Thanks for any help.

  • I believe hat is the current standard for 11.4.x code, starting in the 11.5.x code they updated OpenSSL to OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips. What vulnerabilities are you getting from your scan? Also, F5 only uses the OpenSSL (COMPAT) stack on the management port, and https monitors(I'm not 100% on this), unless you've changed your cipher-text on the SSL profiles from 'DEFAULT'.

     

  • Ya, the virtual servers are fine. No issues there. This only affects the management console. It shows up as "multiple openSSL vulnerabilities" as 0.9.8.y is 2 years old and 0.9.8.za fixed a lot of stuff last year. Once we finish removing SSLv3 from our environment, I can upgrade to 11.5 or 11.6, which appears to use a newer version.
