Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):

Known Affected Versions:

Opened: Jul 20, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

BIG-IP computes the case-sensitive rest_uuid values for HTTP headers but stores the headers as case-insensitive.

Impact

Two identical normalized values may have different rest_uuid.

Conditions

This is an example: 1. Go to Security>>Application Security>>Headers>>HTTP Headers. 2. Choose 'Custom...' for the name of the header. 3. Create a custom header as follows use name 'Abc' with Capital letter. 4. Remember the ID generated in the JSON element. 5. Delete the header. 6. Create a new custom header and use the name 'abc'. Actual Results: The ID of 'abc' and the ID of 'Abc' are different.

Workaround

N/A

Fix Information

The REST "id" field is now calculated from the actual values inserted to the entity, and not on the user-input values.
