Description
On BIG-IP 14.0.0-14.1.0.1, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, and 12.1.0-12.1.4, internal methods used to prevent arbitrary file overwrites in Appliance Mode were not fully effective. An authenticated attacker with a high privilege level may be able to bypass protections implemented in appliance mode to overwrite arbitrary system files.
