Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

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

Known Affected Versions:
12.1.0, 12.1.1, 12.1.2, 12.1.3, 12.1.3.1, 12.1.3.2, 12.1.3.3, 12.1.3.4, 12.1.3.5, 12.1.3.6, 12.1.3.7, 12.1.4, 12.1.4.1, 12.1.5, 12.1.5.1, 12.1.5.2, 12.1.5.3, 12.1.6

Fixed In:

Opened: Dec 03, 2015

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

After updating attack signatures, a Signature-system called "IBM WebSphere" may be created that does not contain a REST ID, and BIG-IQ will fail discovery. If you look at the REST output for this item at https://bigip_address/mgmt/tm/asm/signature-systems/ and look for "IBM WebSphere", you will see that the id field is empty.

Impact

BIG-IQ discovery fails.

Conditions

This can occur when updating attack signatures, and when using BIG-IQ discovery.

Workaround

On the affected device run the following: perl -MF5::Utils::Rest -MF5::DbUtils -MF5::ASMConfig::Entity::SignatureSystem -e "F5::Utils::Rest::populate_uuids(dbh => F5::DbUtils::get_dbh(), rest_entities => ['F5::ASMConfig::Entity::SignatureSystem'])"

Fix Information

Fixed an issue with attack signature updates causing BIG-IQ discovery to fail.
