The F5 BIG-IP appliance is reported prone to an information leakage vulnerability. It is reported that the vulnerability is triggered when a browser that is using HTTP pipelining is employed to request a web page from a web server that is being load-balanced by a BIG-IP appliance. It is not believed that a remote attacker will be able to control the behavior of the affected appliance during a pipelined request, as a result it is conjectured that this vulnerability may be exploited to trigger a partial denial of service. Additionally, a successful attack may result in a disclosure of potentially sensitive information to unauthorized users. This vulnerability is reported to affect BIG-IP versions 4.0 through 4.6.2 and BIG-IP Blade Controller versions 4.2.1 through 4.6.2, that have 'OneConnect/Web Aggregation' functionality enabled.
