Bug ID 476639: Added the ability to control how URI is being passed to Dos mechanism for URL qualification

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP ASM, AVR(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
11.6.0, 11.6.1, 11.6.2, 11.6.3, 11.6.3.1, 11.6.3.2, 11.6.3.3, 11.6.3.4, 11.6.4, 11.6.5, 11.6.5.1, 11.6.5.2, 11.6.5.3, 12.1.0 HF1, 12.1.0 HF2, 12.1.1 HF1, 12.1.1 HF2, 12.1.2 HF1, 12.1.2 HF2

Fixed In:
12.0.0

Opened: Aug 25, 2014

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The DB variable that's turning this feature on\off is: AVR.dosl7.parse_path_info. By default AVR.dosl7.parse_path_info is set to disable which means that if URI is /a/b.php/c/d?p1=v1 The old way is used and only parameters are being removed which leaves us with /a/b.php/c/d . If AVR.dosl7.parse_path_info is set to enable the new parsing is being used, meaning path info is being ignored thus the above URI is turned into /a/b.php .
