CVSS 3.0
7.5 highCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2016-9256
In F5 BIG-IP 12.1.0 through 12.1.2, permissions enforced by iControl can lag behind the actual permissions assigned to a user if the role_map is not reloaded between the time the permissions are changed and the time of the user's next request. This is a race condition that occurs rarely in normal usage; the typical period in which this is possible is limited to at most a few seconds after the permission change.
