Less than 500 machines have been patched since U.S. Cyber Command issued an alert to patch a critical bug that’s under active exploit.
About 8,000 users of F5 Networks’ BIG-IP family of networking devices are still vulnerable to full system access and remote code-execution (RCE), despite a patch for a critical flaw being available for two weeks.
The BIG-IP family consists of application delivery controllers, Local Traffic Managers (LTMs) and domain name system (DNS) managers, together offering built-in security, traffic management and performance application services for private data centers or in the cloud.
