Title:	F5 BIG-IP - GRUB2 vulnerability CVE-2015-8370
Summary:	The remote host is missing a security patch.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing a security patch. Vulnerability Insight: Multiple integer underflows in Grub2 1.98 through 2.02 allow physically proximate attackers to bypass authentication, obtain sensitive information, or cause a denial of service (disk corruption) via backspace characters in the (1) grub_username_get function in grub-core/normal/auth.c or the (2) grub_password_get function in lib/crypto.c, which trigger an 'Off-by-two' or 'Out of bounds overwrite' memory error. Vulnerability Impact: This vulnerability can be exploited under certain circumstances, allowing physically proximate attackers to bypass the system's access authentication. By default, the GRUB2 configuration used in F5 products does not expose this issue. The customization of GRUB2 configurations is not supported. Solution: See the referenced vendor advisory for a solution. CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
