All Rights Reserved. 4 Administrators are administrative users of the TOE, i.e. those users defined in the TOE to be authorized to access the configuration interfaces of the TOE. Different roles can be assigned to administrators, including the Administrator role -- the name of the role is not to be confused with the general reference to an administrator being an administrative user of the TOE in any role. User Humans or machines interacting with the TOE via the provided user and programmatic interfaces. The TOE deals with different types of users -- administrators in charge of configuring and operating the TOE, traffic users who are subject to the TOE's networking capabilities. User interactions with the TOE are transparent to the user, and in most cases the users are not aware of the existence of the TOE. 1.3.2 Acronyms ADC Application Delivery Controller CC Common Criteria CMI Central Management Infrastructure CRL Certificate Revocation List CRLDP Certificate Revocation List Distribution Point DTLS Datagram Transport Layer Security EAL2 Evaluation Assurance Level 2 FPGA Field-Programmable Gate Array GUI Graphical User Interface HSB High-Speed Bridge HSL High-Speed Logging LTM Local Traffic Manager OSP Organisational Security Policy PP Protection Profile SFP Security Function Policy SFR Security Functional Requirement SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol SOF Strength of Function TLS Transport Layer Security TMM Traffic Management Microkernel TMOS Traffic Management Operating System TOE Target of Evaluation TSC TSF Scope of Control TSF TOE Security Functions TSP TOE Security Policy vCMP Virtual Clustered Multi-Processing F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 5 1.4 TOE Type The TOE type is a Networking Device. 1.5 TOE Overview The BIG-IP products subject to this evaluation represent Application Delivery Controllers based on F5's Traffic Management Operating System (TMOS). In particular, • Application Delivery Controller, which includes the Local Traffic Manager (LTM) and Access Policy Manager (APM) modules, provides network traffic management capabilities. BIG-IP products run on appliance hardware provided by F5. In addition, BIG-IP running as a guest instance on F5 appliances that support F5's Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing (vCMP) environment is included. (vCMP implements a purpose-built hypervisor that allows organizations to run multiple virtual instances of BIG-IP on the same hardware.) The TOE's Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM), along with additional software, provides basic networking functionality, with the TOE operating as a network switch and reverse proxy. This includes the following security functions: • Security Audit: BIG-IP implements syslog capabilities to generate audit records for security- relevant events. In addition, the BIG-IP protects the audit trail from unauthorized modifications and loss of audit data due to insufficient space. • Cryptographic Support: In BIG-IP, cryptographic functionality is provided by the OpenSSL cryptographic module. The BIG-IP provides a secure shell (SSH) to allow administrators to connect over a dedicated network interface. BIG-IP also implements the TLS protocol to allow administrators to remotely manage the TOE. BIG-IP implements a TLS client for interactions with other TLS servers. These cryptographic implementations utilize the cryptographic module which provides random number generation, key generation, key establishment, key storage, key destruction, hash operations, encryption/decryption operations, and digital signature operations. • Identification and Authentication: An internal password-based repository is implemented for authentication of management users. BIG-IP enforces a strong password policy and disabling user accounts after a configured number of failed authentication attempts. • Security Function Management: A command line interface (available via the traffic management shell "tmsh"), web-based GUI ("Configuration utility"), a SOAP-based API ("iControl API"), and a REST-based API (“iControl REST API”) are offered to administrators for all relevant configuration of security functionality. The TOE manages configuration objects in a partition which includes users, server pools, etc. This includes the authentication of administrators by user name and password, as well as access control based on pre-defined roles and, optionally, groups of objects ("Profiles"). "Profiles" can be defined for individual servers and classes of servers that the TOE forwards traffic from clients to, and for traffic that matches certain characteristics, determining the kind of treatment applicable to that traffic. Management capabilities offered by the TOE include the definition of templates for certain configuration options. The management functionality also implements roles for separation of duties. • Protection of the TSF: BIG-IP implements many capabilities to protect the integrity and management of its own security functionality. These capabilities include the protection of sensitive data, such as passwords and keys, self-tests, product update verification, and reliable time stamping. • TOE Access: Prior to interactive user authentication, the BIG-IP can display an administrative- defined banner. BIG-IP terminates interactive sessions after an administrator-defined period of inactivity and allows users to terminate their own authenticated session.

The TOE also protects communication channels with audit servers using TLS. 1.6 TOE Description 1.6.1 Introduction Figure 1 provides a schematic example of the TOE's role and location in a networking environment. The F5 hardware hosting BIG-IP is depicted by the two redundant network devices in the diagram. In this example: • Internet connections (dark red network connection) are mediated by BIG-IP to provide access to certain resources located in an organization's internal server pool (yellow network connection), for example to a web-based e-commerce system presenting a storefront to consumers • Users in the organization's Intranet (orange network connection) also access resources in the server pools to interact with the internal server pool. Although not included in the TOE, BIG-IP provides server termination of traffic flowing to a backend server by implementing a TLS client protocol. • Network administrators connect to BIG-IP via a dedicated network interface (dark green network connection) to administer the TOE • The TOE is set up in a redundant failover configuration, with heartbeat monitoring and reporting via a data link between the two instances (light green connections) When deployed as two redundant systems configured in an active/standby failover configuration, the two systems can synchronize their configuration data and provide state and persistence monitoring. The TOE will fail over to the redundant system while maintaining a secure configuration if failures the active device sends a request to the standby device or if the standby device detects missing heartbeats from the active device. The new active device will continue to enforce security policies for new (and possibly active) connections mediated by the TOE. BIG-IP uses CMI (Central Management Infrastructure), a proprietary protocol, for the incremental exchange of configuration data and failover status between TOE instances; CMI is encapsulated in TLS to provide integrity and confidentiality protections. In this configuration a physical network port will be dedicated on each device for the exchange of synchronization data and failover monitoring with the standby device. Failover / redundancy is not in the scope of the evaluated configuration. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 7 Figure 1: Schematic example of a BIG-IP network environment The APM terminates TLS-based VPN connections from remote clients. Internal server resources are made available to these remote users by offering web-based access for remote users, forwarding certain application protocols (such as remote desktop protocol (RDP)), and providing transparent VPN tunneling. The APM subsystem relies upon the Active Directory and/or LDAP external authentication providers to provide authentication decisions; local authentication is not performed for APM. 1.6.2 Architecture Description The TOE is separated into two (2) distinct planes, the control plane and the data plane. The control plane validates, stores, and passes configuration data to all necessary systems. It also provides all administrative access to the TOE. The data plane passes user traffic through the TOE. The TOE implements and supports the following network protocols: TLS (client and server), SSH, HTTPS, FTP. The TOE protects remote connections to its management interfaces with TLS and SSH. The TOE also protects communication channels with audit servers using TLS (TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2). The cryptographic functionality implemented in the TOE is provided by OpenSSL. The TOE is divided into five (5) subsystems: Appliance (hardware or virtual), Traffic Management Operating System (TMOS), Traffic Management Micro-kernel (TMM), Local Traffic Manager (LTM), and Access Policy Manager (APM). F5’s TMOS is a Linux-based operating system customized for performance and to execute on the TOE appliance hardware or in the TOE Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing (vCMP) environment. The vCMP is a hypervisor that allows multiple instances of the TOE to execute on the same underlying hardware. The TMM is the data plane of the product and all data plane traffic passes through the TMM. The LTM controls network traffic coming into or exiting the local area network (LAN) and provides the ability to intercept and redirect incoming network traffic. The APM module terminates TLS-based VPN connections from remote clients although these features are not included in the evaluated configuration.

All Rights Reserved. 8 Figure 2: BIG-IP Subsystems TMOS is a Linux operating system that runs directly on appliance hardware or in a vCMP environment. TMOS is a modified version of the RedHat Linux kernel 2.6.32-431.56.1.e16. In addition to providing the standard operating system features (such as process management, file management, etc), the TMOS provides the following security features for the TOE: • Auditing functionality, using the host system's syslog capabilities. (In addition, a concept called "high-speed logging" (HSL) allows TMM instances to send certain log traffic directly to external audit servers.) • Time stamping • Management functionality, presented to consumers via a dedicated shell providing a command line interface (traffic management shell, "tmsh") that can be reached by administrators via SSH (OpenSSH_5.3p1); and via a web GUI (“Configuration Utility”), a SOAP protocol interface ("iControl API"), or REST interface (“iControl REST API”) that can be reached through a network interface via HTTPS. Those management interfaces are implemented in the background by a central management control program daemon (mcpd) that provides configuration information to individual TOE parts and coordinates its persistent storage. • Authentication functionality is enforced on all administrative interfaces. Administrative interfaces implement an internal password-based repository for authentication of administrative users. • Cryptographic algorithms provided by OpenSSL (OpenSSL1.0.1l-fips 15 Jan 2015). • Individual daemons introduced by BIG-IP packages, such as the modules implementing the LTM and APM logic. At the core of BIG-IP is a concept referred to as Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM), representing the data plane of the product when compared to traditional network device architectures. It is implemented by a daemon running with root privileges, performing its own memory management, and having direct access to the network hardware. TMM implements a number of sequential filters both for Non-vCMP TOE (Multiple appliances) vCMP TOE (Single Appliance) BIG-IP LTM+APM TMM LTM APM TMOS Appliance Hardware Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing (vCMP) Hypervisor BIG-IP LTM+APM TMM Appliance Hardware LTM APM TMOS F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 9 the “client-side” and “server-side” network interfaces served by BIG-IP. The filters implemented in TMM include a TCP, TLS, compression, and HTTP filter, amongst others. If the hardware provides more than one CPU, TMM runs multi-threaded (one thread per CPU). In this case, disaggregators implemented in hardware or, depending on the underlying appliance, firmware, are responsible for de-multiplexing and multiplexing network traffic for handling by an individual TMM thread. In addition to the actual switch hardware, F5 appliance hardware also contains a High-Speed Bridge (HSB, implemented by means of an FPGA) that performs basic traffic filtering functionality as instructed by TMM. Additional plug-in filters can be added to this queue by individual product packages. These plug-ins typically have a filter component in TMM, with additional and more complex logic in a counter-part implemented in a Linux-based daemon (module). The plug-in modules relevant to this evaluation shown in Figure 3 include: • Local Traffic Manager (LTM): authentication of HTTP (based on Apache 2.2.15) traffic and advanced traffic forwarding directives • Access Policy Manager (APM): TLS-based client connectivity. A diagram depicting aspects of the TOE’s architecture and the boundaries of the TOE are provided in Figure 3.

This results in root access to the TOE operating system and bash shell being disabled. 1 The tmsh reference guide version 13.1.1 zipfile contains the pages for each of the tmsh commands. The 12.0.0 pdf contains additional general information that is still valid in 13.1.1 but not reproduced in the 13.1.1 zipfile. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 12 • Certificate validation is performed using CRLs. • Disabled interfaces: o All command shells other than tmsh are disabled. For example, bash and other user- serviceable shells are excluded. o Management of the TOE via SNMP is disabled. o Management of the TOE via the appliance's LCD display is disabled. o Remote (i.e., SSH) access to the Lights Out / Always On Management2 capabilities of the system is disabled. o SSH client 1.6.4.1 Security Audit BIG-IP implements auditing functionality based on standard syslog functionality. This includes the support of remote audit servers for capturing of audit records. Audit records are generated for all security- relevant events, such as the use of configuration interfaces by administrators, the authentication of traffic, and the application of network traffic rules. While the TOE can store audit records locally for cases when an external log server becomes unavailable, in the evaluated configuration an external log server is used as the primary means of archiving audit records. In the evaluated configuration, BIG-IP logs a warning to notify the administrator when the local audit storage exceeds a configurable maximum size. Once the configurable maximum size is reached, BIG-IP overwrites the oldest audit records. 1.6.4.2 Cryptographic Support All cryptographic operations, including algorithms and key generation used by the TOE are provided by the F5 cryptographic module (OpenSSL) within the TMOS. Various security functions in BIG-IP rely on cryptographic mechanisms for their effective implementation. Trusted paths for the TOE administrator are provided by SSH for the tmsh administrative interface and by TLS for the Configuration utility, iControl API and iControl REST API. For administrative sessions, the TOE always acts as a server. For traffic sessions, the TOE may act as a TLS client or server. Trusted channels between the TOE and external entities, such as a syslog server, are provided by TLS connections. For TLS sessions, the TOE implements certificate validation using the OpenSSL crypto library. The TOE utilizes cryptographic algorithms that have been validated using the NIST CAVS tests. The underlying hardware platforms of the TOE include a third party proprietary cryptographic acceleration card that is used to provide sufficient entropy to support random number generation (RNG), and acceleration. 1.6.4.2.1 Key Generation 2 Lights Out / Always On Management is an add-on module providing a management system for non-security related features not required for operation of the TOE. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 13 The TOE can generate asymmetric keys using RSA schemes and ECC schemes. The underlying hardware platforms of the TOE include a third party proprietary cryptographic acceleration card that is used to provide sufficient entropy to support RNG. The TOE provides a total of four entropy sources. The TOE can generate keys (and certificates) for a number of uses, including: • Keypairs for the SSH server functionality • TLS server and client certificates for the administrative sessions • Session keys for SSH and TLS sessions 1.6.4.3 Identification and Authentication The TOE identifies individual administrative users by user name and authenticates them by passwords stored in a local configuration database; the TOE can enforce a password policy based on overall minimum length and number of characters of different types required. BIG-IP obscures passwords entered by users. Authentication of administrators is enforced at all configuration interfaces, i.e. at the shell (tmsh, via SSH), the Configuration utility (web-based GUI), iControl API, and iControl REST API. 1.6.4.4 Security Management The TOE allows administrators to configure all relevant aspects of security functionality implemented by the TSF. For this purpose, BIG-IP offers multiple interfaces to administrators: • Configuration utility The Configuration utility presents a web-based GUI available to administrators via HTTPS that allows administration of most aspects of the TSF. • traffic management shell (tmsh) tmsh is a shell providing a command line interface that is available via SSH. It allows administration of all aspects of the TSF. • iControl API The iControl API is a SOAP based protocol interface that allows programmatic access to the TSF configuration via HTTPS. • iControl REST API The iControl REST API is effectively a front-end to tmsh and is built on the Representational State Transfer (REST), which allows programmatic access to the TSF via HTTPS. The TOE provides the ability to administer the TOE both locally and remotely using any of the four administrative interfaces. Local administration is performed via the serial port console. By default and in the evaluated configuration, remote access to the management interfaces is only made available on the dedicated management network port of a BIG-IP system. BIG-IP implements a hierarchy of roles that are pre-defined to grant administrators varying degrees of control over the basic configuration of the TOE, and additional roles are introduced for module-specific tasks. These roles can be assigned to users by authorized administrators. In addition to roles, the TOE allows the definition of partitions. Configuration objects, such as server pools or service profiles, can be assigned to individual partitions, as can administrative users. This allows administrative access of individual administrators to be restricted to configuration objects that belong to the partition that has been assigned to the user.

All Rights Reserved. 14 1.6.4.5 Protection of the TSF The TOE is designed to protect critical security data, including keys and passwords. In addition, the TOE includes self-tests that monitor continue operation of the TOE to ensure that it is operating correctly. The TOE also provides a mechanism to provide trusted updates to the TOE firmware or software and reliable timestamps in order to support TOE functions, including accurate audit recording. 1.6.4.6 TOE access The TOE implements session inactivity time-outs for Configuration utility and tmsh sessions and displays a warning banner before establishing an interactive session between a human user and the TOE. 1.6.4.7 Trusted Path/Channels This chapter summarizes the security functionality provided by the TOE in order to protect the confidentiality and integrity of network connections described below. 1.6.4.7.1 Generic network traffic BIG-IP Version 13.1.1 LTM+APM's LTM allows the termination of data plane TLS connections on behalf of internal servers or server pools. External clients can thus connect via TLS to the TOE, which acts as a TLS server and decrypts the traffic and then forwards it to internal servers for processing of the content. It is also possible to (re-) encrypt traffic from the TOE to servers in the organization with TLS, with the TOE acting as a TLS client. 1.6.4.7.2 Administrative traffic The TOE secures administrative traffic (i.e., administrators connecting to the TOE in order to configure and maintain it) as follows: • Remote access to the traffic management shell (tmsh) is secured via SSH. • Remote access to the web-based Configuration utility, iControl REST API, and iControl API is secured via TLS. 1.6.4.7.3 OpenSSH The TOE SSH implementation is based on OpenSSH Version OpenSSH_5.3p1; however, the TOE OpenSSH configuration sets the implementation via the sshd_config as follows: • Supports two types of authentication, RSA public-key and password-based • Packets greater than (256*1024) bytes are dropped • The transport encryption algorithms are limited to AES-CBC-128 and AES-CBC-256 • The transport mechanism is limited to SSH_RSA public key authentication • The transport data integrity algorithm is limited to HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA2-256 • The SSH protocol key exchange mechanism is limited to ecdh-sha2-nistp256 and ecdh-sha2- nistp384. 1.6.4.7.4 Remote logging The TOE offers the establishment of TLS sessions with external log hosts in the operational environment for protection of audit records in transfer.

In doing so, the network device communicates with other network devices and other network entities (an entity not defined as a network device) over the network. At the same time, it must provide a minimal set of common security functionality expected by all network devices. The security problem to be addressed by a compliant network device is defined as this set of common security functionality that addresses the threats that are common to network devices, as opposed to those that might be targeting the specific functionality of a specific type of network device. The set of common security functionality addresses communication with the network device, both authorized and unauthorized, the ability to perform valid or secure updates, the ability to audit device activity, the ability to securely store and utilize device and administrator credentials and data, and the ability to self-test critical device components for failures. The TOE is intended to be used either in environments in which, at most, sensitive but unclassified information is processed, or the sensitivity level of information in both the internal and external networks is equivalent. This security target includes a restatement of the Security Problem Definition (threats, organizational security policies, and assumptions) from NDcPP. The threats, organizational security policies and assumptions are repeated here for the convenience of the reader. Refer to the NDcPP for additional detail. 3.1 Threat Environment This section describes the threat model for the TOE and identifies the individual threats that are assumed to exist in the operational environment of the TOE. Figure 1 supports the understanding of the attack scenarios discussed here. The assets to be protected by the TOE are: • Organizational data hosted on remote systems in physical and virtual network segments connected directly or indirectly to the TOE (depicted as "server pools" in Figure 1). (The TOE can be used to protect the assets on those systems from unauthorized exploitation by mediating network traffic from remote users before it reaches the systems or networks hosting those assets.) • The TSF and TSF data The threat agents having an interest in manipulating the TOE and TSF behavior to gain access to these assets can be categorized as: • Unauthorized third parties (“attackers”, such as malicious remote users, parties, or external IT entities) which are unknown to the TOE and its runtime environment. Attackers are traditionally located outside the organizational environment that the TOE is employed to protect, but may include organizational insiders, too. • Authorized users of the TOE (i.e., administrators) who try to manipulate configuration data that they are not authorized to access. TOE administrators, as well as administrators of the operational environment, are assumed to be trustworthy, trained and to follow the instructions provided to them with respect to the secure configuration and operation of the systems under their responsibility. Hence, only inadvertent attempts to manipulate the safe operation of the TOE are expected from this community. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 20 The motivation of threat agents is assumed to be commensurate with the assurance level pursued by this evaluation, i.e., the TOE intends to resist penetration by attackers with an Enhanced-Basic attack potential. 3.2 Threats The threats identified in this section may be addressed by the TOE, TOE environment, or a combination of both. The threat agents are authorized persons/processes, unauthorized persons/processes, or external IT entities not authorized to use the TOE itself. The threats identified assume that the threat agent is a person with a low attack potential who possesses an average expertise, few resources, and low to moderate motivation. T.UNAUTHORIZED_ADMINISTRATOR_ACCESS Threat agents may attempt to gain Administrator access to the network device by nefarious means such as masquerading as an Administrator to the device, masquerading as the device to an Administrator, replaying an administrative session (in its entirety, or selected portions), or performing man-in-the-middle attacks, which would provide access to the administrative session, or sessions between network devices. Successfully gaining Administrator access allows malicious actions that compromise the security functionality of the device and the network on which it resides. T.WEAK_CRYPTOGRAPHY Threat agents may exploit weak cryptographic algorithms or perform a cryptographic exhaust against the key space. Poorly chosen encryption algorithms, modes, and key sizes will allow attackers to compromise the algorithms, or brute force exhaust the key space and give them unauthorized access allowing them to read, manipulate and/or control the traffic with minimal effort. T.UNTRUSTED_COMMUNICATION_CHANNELS Threat agents may attempt to target network devices that do not use standardized secure tunneling protocols to protect the critical network traffic. Attackers may take advantage of poorly designed protocols or poor key management to successfully perform man-in-the-middle attacks, replay attacks, etc. Successful attacks will result in loss of confidentiality and integrity of the critical network traffic, and potentially could lead to a compromise of the network device itself. T.WEAK_AUTHENTICATION_ENDPOINTS Threat agents may take advantage of secure protocols that use weak methods to authenticate the endpoints – e.g., shared password that is guessable or transported as plaintext. The consequences are the same as a poorly designed protocol, the attacker could masquerade as the Administrator or another device, and the attacker could insert themselves into the network stream and perform a man-in-the-middle attack. The result is the critical network traffic is exposed and there could be a loss of confidentiality and integrity, and potentially the network device itself could be compromised. T.UPDATE_COMPROMISE Threat agents may attempt to provide a compromised update of the software or firmware which undermines the security functionality of the device. Non-validated updates or updates validated using non-secure or weak cryptography leave the update firmware vulnerable to surreptitious alteration. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 21 T.UNDETECTED_ACTIVITY Threat agents may attempt to access, change, and/or modify the security functionality of the network device without Administrator awareness. This could result in the attacker finding an avenue (e.g., misconfiguration, flaw in the product) to compromise the device and the Administrator would have no knowledge that the device has been compromised. T.SECURITY_FUNCTIONALITY_COMPROMISE Threat agents may compromise credentials and device data enabling continued access to the network device and its critical data. The compromise of credentials include replacing existing credentials with an attacker’s credentials, modifying existing credentials, or obtaining the Administrator or device credentials for use by the attacker. T.PASSWORD_CRACKING Threat agents may be able to take advantage of weak administrative passwords to gain privileged access to the device. Having privileged access to the device provides the attacker unfettered access to the network traffic, and may allow them to take advantage of any trust relationships with other network devices. T.SECURITY_FUNCTIONALITY_FAILURE An external, unauthorized entity could make use of failed or compromised security functionality and might therefore subsequently use or abuse security functions without prior authentication to access, change or modify device data, critical network traffic or security functionality of the device. 3.3 Organisational Security Policies The TOE environment must include and comply with the following organizational security policies. P.ACCESS_BANNER The TOE shall display an initial banner describing restrictions of use, legal agreements, or any other appropriate information to which users consent by accessing the TOE. 3.4 Assumptions The assumptions are ordered into three categories: personnel assumptions, physical environment assumptions, and operational assumptions. A.PHYSICAL_PROTECTION The network device is assumed to be physically protected in its operational environment and not subject to physical attacks that compromise the security and/or interfere with the device’s physical interconnections and correct operation. This protection is assumed to be sufficient to protect the device and the data it contains. As a result, the cPP will not include any requirements on physical tamper protection or other physical attack mitigations. The cPP will not expect the product to defend against physical access to the device that allows unauthorized entities to extract data, bypass other controls, or otherwise manipulate the device. A.LIMITED_FUNCTIONALITY The device is assumed to provide networking functionality as its core function and not provide functionality/services that could be deemed as general purpose computing. For example the device should not provide a computing platform for general purpose applications (unrelated to networking functionality). F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 22 A.NO_THRU_TRAFFIC_PROTECTION The standard/generic network device does not provide any assurance regarding the protection of traffic that traverses it. The intent is for the network device to protect data that originates on or is destined to the device itself, to include administrative data and audit data. Traffic that is traversing the network device, destined for another network entity, is not covered by the NDcPP. It is assumed that this protection will be covered by cPPs for particular types of network devices (e.g., firewall). A.TRUSTED_ADMINISTRATOR The Security Administrator(s) for the network device are assumed to be trusted and to act in the best interest of security for the organization. This includes being appropriately trained, following policy, and adhering to guidance documentation. Administrators are trusted to ensure passwords/credentials have sufficient strength and entropy and to lack malicious intent when administering the device. The network device is not expected to be capable of defending against a malicious Administrator that actively works to bypass or compromise the security of the device. A.REGULAR_UPDATES The network device firmware and software is assumed to be updated by an Administrator on a regular basis in response to the release of product updates due to known vulnerabilities. A.ADMIN_CREDENTIALS_SECURE The Administrator’s credentials (private key) used to access the network device are protected by the platform on which they reside. A.RESIDUAL_INFORMATION The Administrator must ensure that there is no unauthorized access possible for sensitive residual information (e.g., cryptographic keys, keying material, PINs, passwords, etc.) on networking equipment when the equipment is discarded or removed from its operational environment.

OE.PHYSICAL Physical security, commensurate with the value of the TOE and the data it contains, is provided by the environment. OE.NO_GENERAL_PURPOSE There are no general-purpose computing capabilities (e.g., compilers or user applications) available on the TOE, other than those services necessary for the operation, administration and support of the TOE. OE.NO_THRU_TRAFFIC_PROTECTION The TOE does not provide any protection of traffic that traverses it. It is assumed that protection of this traffic will be covered by other security and assurance measures in the operational environment. OE.TRUSTED_ADMIN TOE Administrators are trusted to follow and apply all guidance documentation in a trusted manner. OE.UPDATES The TOE firmware and software is updated by an administrator on a regular basis in response to the release of product updates due to known vulnerabilities. OE.ADMIN_CREDENTIALS_SECURE The administrator’s credentials (private key) used to access the TOE must be protected on any other platform on which they reside. OE.RESIDUAL_INFORMATION The TOE administrator ensures that there is no unauthorized access possible for sensitive residual information (e.g. cryptographic keys, keying material, PINs, passwords etc.) on networking equipment when the equipment is discarded or removed from its operational environment.

All Rights Reserved. 42 7 TOE Summary Specification This section presents a description of how the TOE SFRs are satisfied. 7.1 Security Audit BIG-IP uses syslog functionality to generate audit records, including the start-up and shut-down of the audit functions themselves. BIG-IP systems generate different log types that capture different types of audit records. The audit records include: • audit events events related to the security and administrative functionality implemented by the TOE; this type of audit log captures most of the events specified in this ST • system events events related to the TOE operating system as well as status of TOE components, such as the syslog-ng daemon • packet filter events events related to packet filtering applied by the TOE • local traffic events events related to network traffic handled by the system, including some events related to packet filtering The TOE provides the ability to configure syslog levels per daemon that generates the respective audit records. The Configuration utility GUI and tmsh provide interfaces to set those log levels. Depending upon the exact audit record, the outcome is included in the description and / or the status code. Table 5 shows the information included in the different types of audit logs. Log content Log type System Packet Filter Local Traffic Audit (mcp) Audit (other) Description The description of the event that caused the system to log the message. X X X X X Event A description of the configuration change that caused the system to log the message. X Host name The host name of the system that logged the event message.

All Rights Reserved. 43 Log content Log type System Packet Filter Local Traffic Audit (mcp) Audit (other) Timestamp The time and date that the system logged the event message. X X X X X Transaction ID The identification number of the configuration change initiated by another recorded event. This number can be used to trace back to the initiating audit entry and the associated user name. X User Name The name of the user who made the configuration change X X Table 5: Audit Logs and Their Content The TOE includes within each audit record the information required by FAU_GEN.1.2 and specified in Table 3. For audit records logging the administrative task of generating/import of, changing, or deleting of cryptographic keys, the certificate key file object name is logged to identify the relevant key. This functionality implements FAU_GEN.1 and FAU_GEN.2. BIG-IP supports (and the evaluated configuration mandates) logging to external syslog hosts. Audit records in transit to the remote host are protected by TLS channels. The syslog mechanism provided by the underlying Linux system (which is the operating system of the TOE) is used for the creation and forwarding of audit records. In the evaluated configuration, all audit records are sent to both local and remote storage automatically. The audit records are sent to the remote storage immediately. In addition, BIG-IP implements a high-speed logging mechanism for data traffic (logging packet filter events and local traffic events) in TMM that is compatible with syslog. The TOE supports TLS channels to audit servers for the protection of audit records sent from the TOE to an external audit server. For the case that the remote syslog host becomes unavailable, audit records are stored locally in syslog files managed, and protected against unauthorized access, by using file permission bits in the underlying Linux host. The TOE will attempt to periodically reestablish the connection with the remote syslog host indefinitely. The TOE retries within seconds of each connection failure. The TOE implements a buffer to store audit records collected during the period of time when the remote syslog host is unavailable. If the connection is reestablished before the buffers overflow, no audit records are lost. If the connection is reestablished after the buffers overflow, audit records are lost. Locally stored audit records are also available for review through the administrative interfaces of the TOE. Only users in the Administrator role can modify those records. The TOE does not support deletion of audit records by authorized users. BIG-IP logs a warning if the local space for syslog files on the box exceeds a configurable maximum size. The TOE implements a local syslog file rotation scheme that numbers the locally archived syslog files. The TOE will delete the oldest syslog file once the maximum size for local syslog file space is exceeded. A cron job runs every two minutes to check the audit trail storage partition in order to accomplish this. The evaluated configuration requires allocation of 7 GB of audit storage, and a warning to be logged when 90 F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 44 % of the storage space are exhausted. The administrator receives the warnings when reviewing the log files as instructed the CC guidance document. This functionality implements FAU_STG.1, FAU_STG_EXT.1, and FAU_STG.3/LocSpace. 7.2 Cryptographic Support The TOE utilitizes cryptographic algorithms that have been validated using the FIPS-approved and NIST- recommended algorithms and tested using the NIST CAVS tests. Higher-level protocol stacks can use the F5 cryptographic module (OpenSSL) in order to implement trusted traffic communications: • Management GUI (browser client to TOE) • SSH session for tmsh (SSH client to SSH server on TOE) • Remote logging via syslog (TOE to syslog server) The TLS stack in TMM uses the host-provided library to implement the remaining, traffic-related TLS functionality use cases described above (also referred to as "traffic TLS"). Replay detection (and rejection) is inherent to the protocols used by BIG-IP to establish communications of a trusted nature, i.e. TLS/HTTPS and SSH. 7.2.1 Key Generation and Establishment The session keys are generated upon the request of an administrator by a Key Generator process that invokes the OpenSSL library on the Linux host. The TOE generates asymmetric cryptographic keys that are compliant with FIPS PUB 186-4 and meet the following: Key Generation Scheme Key Establishment Scheme Key sizes / NIST curves Usage RSA RSA NIST SP 800-56B Key sizes: 2048, 3072 TLS certificate TLS ephemeral session keys SSH key pair The TLS static keys are created once, imported to the TOE, and stored on disk until the Administrator creates a new key. The SSH key pair is crated on first boot. The TOE can act as a receiver or both sender and receiver depending upon the deployment. When acting as a receiver, decryption errors are handled in a side channel resistant method and reported as MAC errors. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks.

The TOE can act as a receiver or both sender and receiver depending upon the deployment. Table 6: Key generation in the TOE The TOE also generates TLS session keys and SSH session keys. The TOE offers administrative interfaces for creating a private key and certificate signing request (CSR). See Section 7.3.2 for more information on CSRs. This implements FCS_CKM.1 and FCS_CKM.2. 7.2.2 Zeroization of Critical Security Parameters “Cryptographic Critical Security Parameters” are defined in FIPS 140-2 as “security-related information (e.g., secret and private cryptographic keys, and authentication data such as passwords and PINs) whose disclosure or modification can compromise the security of a cryptographic module.” Only the TLS and SSH session keys are stored in plaintext form. The rest of the keys are stored in encrypted format. The encrypted keys are stored using the F5 Secure Vault. The F5 Secure Vault uses a Master Key and a Unit Key to protect sensitive configuration attributes. The Master Key is a single, symmetric key that is stored with the data and is used to protect the data. All sensitive configuration attributes, including passwords and passphrases, are encrypted with the Master Key using 128 bit AES encryption. The Unit Key (a key-encrypting-key) is a symmetric key stored in the EEPROM that is associated with the device and is used to protect the Master Key. The Master Key is encrypted with the Unit Key using 256 bit AES encryption. If the Unit Key is replaced in the EEPROM, the old Unit Key is cleared by overwriting it with random data and then the new Unit Key is written to EEPROM. Note: The acceleration cards are used to provide sufficient entropy and may be used for acceleration. The following table discusses how the F5 cryptographic module (i.e. OpenSSL used by both data plane and control plane) zeroize critical security parameters that are not needed for operation of the TSF anymore. OPEN_SSL_cleanse() is used to zeroize data, and this routine has been updated to overwrite with zeros, not with pseudo-random data. This also includes key material used by the TSF that is stored outside of the F5 cryptographic module. Keys in volatile and non-volatile storage are destroyed by performing a single overwrite consisting of zeroes. Application Key type Storage Location Volatile/ Non- volatile Zeroized when?

The entropy pool is used as a seed source for a digital random number generator (DRNG) via the /dev/random and /dev/urandom special file interfaces. The bit-stream will be transferred as necessary during system operation. The defined sources will be specific to the hardware available on each platform but will include one or more of the following: the jitterentropy-engine, Cavium Nitrox III hardware, Intel QAT hardware, and the Intel rdrand instruction. The random bit stream from the entropy source will be fed to the Linux DRNG on demand, such that if the entropy in the Linux DRNG runs low (and thus the threshold that causes /dev/random to block will reached soon), fresh entropy is inserted and the entropy estimate in the Linux RNG is increased. This will attempt to ensure that sufficient entropy is available in the Linux DRNG to avoid blocking applications that read from /dev/random, or will release any applications that have become blocked. Since the /dev/urandom interface also draws from the Linux kernel entropy pool input of the random bit stream will also ensure that /dev/urandom is initialized and reseeded. The increase in the entropy estimate caused by the transfer of the random bit stream is not equal to the number of bits transferred, rather it scaled by a F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 49 factor which is dependent on the entropy source. This implements FCS_RBG_EXT.1. 7.2.5 SSH The TOE implements a SSH v2 server and a SSH v2 client. The SSH client is not used for communication with trusted external IT entities and will be disabled in the TOE. Administrators can connect to the TOE remotely using SSH via a dedicated network interface. Administrators are authenticated locally by user name and password; remote authentication (via LDAP or AD) is not supported by the TOE. The SSH implementation is compliant with RFCs 4251, 4252, 4253, 4254, 5656, 6668. SSH connections to the TOE's command line interface are protected using SSH version 2, using transport encryption algorithm AES CBC mode with 128 and 256 bit-sizes keys, transport data integrity protection hashing algorithm HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA2-256 and public key authentication algorithm ssh-rsa. The SSH implementation monitors packet size on all channels and limits packet size as suggested in RFC 4253 Section 6.1; the maximum packet size is (256*1024) bytes with larger packets being silently dropped. Additionally, the SSH implementation has hard-coded ecdh-sha2-nistp256 and ecdh-sha2-nistp384 key exchange; diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange is intentionally disabled. The SSH connection session key will be renegotiated after either of two thresholds has been reached. SSH connection session keys will be renegotiated after one hour of use. In addition, the SSH connection session key will be renegotiated after an administrator-configured maximum amount of data, the RekeyLimit, is transmitted over the connection. The administrative guidance will instruct the user to not set the RekeyLimit to a value greater that 1 GB. This functionality implements FCS_SSHS_EXT.1. 7.2.6 TLS Protocol The TOE implements both the TLS server and TLS client protocol. Administrators remotely connect to the TOE via an HTTPS server implementing TLS over a dedicated network interface used to administer the TOE. Administrators are authenticated locally by user name and password; remote authentication (via LDAP or AD) is not supported by the TOE. Administrator sessions that use the web-based Configuration utility, SOAP protocol (iControl API), or the REST API (iControl REST API) are protected by TLS. TLS sessions are limited to TLS versions 1.2 and 1.1, using the cipher suites identified in Table 9. The TLS server implementation in the TOE will deny SSL 1.0, SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, and TLS 1.0 session requests. The TOE implementation of TLS client is capable of presenting a certificate to a TLS server for TLS mutual authentication. The TLS client implemented by the TOE is used to communicate with the external audit server.

It's up to an Administrator to load the desired X.509 certificate and up to TLS clients to verify it. The BIG-IP TLS server only checks the Common Name (CN) and DNS name in SAN when BIG-IP performs client authentication. For BIG-IP acting as TLS client, the TOE checks Common Name (CN) and DNS name. The BIG-IP TLS client supports ECDH in the Client Hello by default. This can optionally be disabled by removing the corresponding cipher suites, although individual curves cannot be configured. The DN or SAN in the certificate is compared by requiring an exact match. Use of wildcards for reference identifiers constructed by the TOE and certificate pinning for TLS client connections are not supported by the TOE. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 51 When acting as a TLS server, BIG-IP generates key establishment parameters using RSA with key size 2048 and 3072 bits and over NIST curves secp256r1 and secp384r1 (secp384r1 is not available on the TLS server in the control plane). The TLS server key exchange message parameters (ECDH) are as defined / required by RFC 5246 Section 7.4.3 for TLS 1.2, RFC 4346 Section 7.4.3 for TLS 1.1, and RFC 4492. For example, its classic ECDH using named curves with predefined parameters. The TOE does not support DHE_RSA cipher suites, so server key exchange messages are not sent. This functionality implements FCS_TLSC_EXT.2[1]-[2], FCS_TLSS_EXT.1[1]-[4]. 7.2.7 HTTPS Protocol The BIG-IP provides three interfaces for remote administrators that communicate over HTTPS: Configuration Utility, iControl API, and iControl REST API. HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) is an application- level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems transmitted over a TLS connection. Checking the validity of peer certificates is described in Section 7.3.2. The TOE implements HTTPS per RFC 2818, HTTP over TLS. The HTTPS implementation is designed to comply with all mandatory portions of RFC 2818 (as denoted in the RFC by keywords “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, and “REQUIRED”). The optional portions of the RFC are denoted in the RFC by keywords “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, and “MAY”. Connection Initiation, Connection Closure, Client Behavior, Server Behavior, and Server Identity are implemented. For Connection Closure, the TOE includes a configuration setting in the SSL profile that controls alert protocols and the session close behavior. By default, the TOE is configured to close the underlying TCP connections without exchanging the required TLS shutdown close notify. The TOE can be configured to perform a clean shutdown of all TLS connections by sending a close notify. This functionality implements FCS_HTTPS_EXT.1. 7.3 Identification and Authentication Administrative users (i.e., all users authorized to access the TOE's administrative interfaces) are identified by a user name and authenticated by an individual password associated with that user's account. This is true regardless of how the administrative user interfaces with the TOE. If the supplied user name and password match the user name and password pair maintained by the TOE, the administrative session is successfully established. Otherwise, the user receives an error and the session is not established. In addition, the TOE displays warning banners for interactive sessions as described in Section 7.6. This functionality implements FIA_UIA_EXT.1, FIA_UAU_EXT.2. For interactive user authentication at the web-based Configuration utility via HTTPS and the command line tmsh via SSH, BIG-IP obscures passwords entered by users. This functionality implements FIA_UAU.7. 7.3.1 Password policy and user lockout The TOE can enforce a password policy for all user accounts managed locally, other than those in the Administrator role. This includes the definition of a minimum password length and required character types (numeric, uppercase, lowercase, others). The minimum password length default value is 6; the valid range is from 6 to 255. This policy is enforced when users change their own passwords. Other aspects of the authentication policy include the minimum and maximum lengths of time that passwords can be in effect, and the number of previous passwords that BIG-IP should store to prevent users from re-using former passwords. • The minimum duration specifies the minimum number of days before which users cannot change their passwords; the default is 0 and the valid range is from 0 to 255. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 52 • The maximum duration specifies the maximum number of days a password is valid; users must change their passwords before the maximum duration is reached, the default is 99999 days. o User accounts whose password has expired, based on the administrator-defined maximum password duration, are locked and require an administrator to reset them. • Password memory specifies that the system records the specified number of passwords that the user has used in the past. Users cannot reuse a password that is in the list. The default is 0 and the valid range is from 0 to 127. Both local and remote access to the TOE for individual users can be disabled ("locked") after a configured number of consecutive, failed authentication attempts on that user account. In the evaluated configuration, the default is 3 consecutive, failed authentication attempts with a valid range from 1 to 10. For each administrative interface (local and remote interfaces), a single centralized module in the TOE verifies user identification and authentication. That module returns authentication success or failure decisions and maintains the user lockout feature. A counter of failed authentication attempts is maintained for each user. If too many failed authentication attempts occur, the associated user account is locked out and access is denied. A counter is kept for each user to track consecutive authentication failures. When a successful authentication occurs, the counter is reset to zero. In the evaluated configuration, an administrator-configured time value determines the duration of a user’s lock out time. The default is 10 minutes (600 seconds). In the evaluated configuration, it is not possible for all administrative users to be locked out of the TOE, because the primary administrative user account is permitted to login to the local console even if it is locked out when attempting to login through any remote interface. This functionality implements FIA_AFL.1, FIA_PMG_EXT.1. 7.3.2 Certificate Validation For TLS and HTTPS sessions, the TOE implements certificate validation using the OpenSSL crypto library. The TOE supports validation of X.509 digital certificates using a certificate revocation list (CRL) as specified in [RFC5280] Section 5. Administrators create profiles which are used to define the parameters used to communicate with an external entity. These parameters include the ability to require the use of TLS and peer or mutual authentication and a definition of the certificate to use for authentication. This capability is used to create a mutually authenticated connection with the external audit server. The external audit server provides a certificate to the TOE during establishment of the TLS connection in order to authenticate the external audit server. The TOE offers administrative interfaces for creating a private key and certificate signing request (CSR). The CSR may include the following information: public key, common name, organization, organizational unit, country, locality, state / province, country, e-mail address, subject alternative name. After the CSR is created, the administrator must export the CSR outside the TOE. Outside the scope of the TOE, the administrator provides the CSR to the CA and then the CA returns the certificate to the administrator. Using the administrative interface, the administrator can then import the certificate into the TOE. The only method supported by the TOE for obtaining a CA certificate is for the administrator to save a certificate to a text file and import it into the TOE. The certificates are stored in a text file. The TOE is capable of importing X.509v3 certificates and certificates in the PKCS12 format. The TOE is also capable of creating and using a self-signed certificate. The TOE checks the validity of the certificates when the profile using the certificate is loaded and when the certificate is used by the TOE, including during authentication. If the certificates are modified, the digital signature verification would detect that the certificate had been tampered with and the certificate would be F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 53 invalid. Administrators can ensure that the certificates presented have not been revoked by importing a certificate revocation list (CRL) into the TOE. A certificate chain includes the root CA certificate, certificates of intermediate CAs, and the end entity certificate. The certificate chain consists of all the certificates necessary to validate the end certificate. Administrators can upload trusted device certificates (root CA certificates) into the TOE to identify which certificates are trusted. The TOE performs full certificate chain checking using Public Key Infrastructure X.509, verifies the expiration of the certificate (assuming a reliable time), and verifies its revocation using CRLs. When the validity of a certificate cannot be established, the TOE will allow the administrator to choose whether or not to accept the certificate. This implements FIA_X509_EXT.1/Rev, FIA_X509_EXT.2, FIA_X509_EXT.3. 7.4 Security Function Management The TOE provides the ability to administer the TOE both locally and remotely. Local administration is performed via the serial port console. Remote access to the management interfaces is only made available on the dedicated management network port of a BIG-IP system. The TOE offers administrators four different methods to configure and manage the TSF. They are: • Configuration Utility (Web-based GUI) - browser-based GUI interface with normal GUI panels and selections. The client browser talks to the Apache HTTP server over HTTPS; then the request passes through tomcat and to the BIG-IP. • tmsh shell commands – provide a command line interface, accessible through an SSH client • iControl API – SOAP-based programming interface over HTTPS. • iControl REST API – REST-based programming interface over HTTPS. The first three interfaces are independent. The tmsh interface is the most complete; though none of the three are proper subsets of each other. iControl REST APIs utilize tmsh shell command(s) to perform the desired operation, so it is basically a front-end to the tmsh shell commands. As such, the functions provided by the iControl REST API are a proper subset of the set of tmsh commands. Remote use of these interfaces is performed over protected communication paths as described in Section 7.7. These four administrative interfaces require users to identify and authenticate themselves prior to performing any administrative functions. The TOE comes with a pre-defined “admin” user with the Administrator role assigned that cannot be deleted. A password is assigned to the “admin” user during setup of the TOE. Local user accounts are managed by administrators in the Administrator or User Manager role and stored in the TOE's local user database. Management includes creating and deleting users, as well as changing another user's password (every user can change their own password), role, or partition the user has access to, and enabling or disabling terminal access for the user. However, User Managers that have access to only one partition cannot change the partition access of other users, and cannot change their own partition access or role. (More on roles can be found in Section 7.4.1.) Some general configuration options include: • definition of an administrative IP address for the TOE's management network interface • configuration of remote logging • configuration of auditing • configuration of TOE security functions F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 54 • enable/disable services • manage TSF data, configure the login access banner • configure session inactivity timeout • configure cryptographic functionality • configure the RekeyLimit which defines how much data can be transmitted within an SSH connection before rekeying • configuration of trusted updates • set the time period for rejecting logins from an Administrator who has reached the maximum number of unsuccessful authentication attempts, and • set the time which is used for time stamps. BIG-IP uses the concept of virtual servers to define destinations that BIG-IP accepts (client) traffic for. Virtual servers are represented by an IP address and service (such as HTTP). The actual resources that BIG- IP forwards the traffic to are referred to as nodes, represented by their IP address. Nodes can be grouped into pools, for example for the purpose of load balancing. (A client sends an HTTP request to BIG-IP's virtual server address, and BIG-IP will then select a node from the pool associated with the virtual server to forward the request to.) Virtual servers are a management tool used to simplify the configuration of filtering and processing incoming network requests. In order to determine the treatment of different types of traffic, such as requiring client authentication or inspection of HTTP code at the application layer, administrators can assign profiles to virtual servers. Profiles contain detailed instructions on how the different traffic management-related security functions of the TOE are applied to matching traffic. This functionality implements FMT_SMF.1. 7.4.1 Security Roles Access of individual users to the web-based Configuration utility, tmsh, iControl API, and iControl REST API is restricted based on pre-defined roles. These roles define which type of objects a user has access to and which type of tasks he or she can perform. The role definitions cannot be changed by TOE administrators. Table 10 contains the definition of user roles. The TOE allows security administrators to define the type of terminal access that individual users have, i.e. whether they have access to the tmsh via SSH or not. The TOE can be administered either locally or remotely. Administering the TOE locally entails connecting a device to the management port on the BIG- IP via an Ethernet cable The tasks that users can perform on objects, depending on their role, are grouped into hierarchical access levels: • write: create, modify, enable and disable, and delete an object • update: modify, enable, and disable an object • enable/disable: enable and disable an object • read: view an object In addition to roles, the TOE implements the concept of partitions for restricting access to objects. Configuration objects that deal with the individual traffic management functions offered by the TOE are stored in partitions (either the Common partition, or administrator-defined partitions. Objects (including users, server pools, etc.) can be created in different partitions by administrators, and users can be assigned F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 55 a partition they have access to ("partition access"). As a result, users will only have the type of access defined by their assigned role to objects in the partition that is defined by their partition access. (With certain exceptions documented in the tables below.) It is possible to assign a user access to "all" partitions, in which case the user will have access to objects in all partitions as defined by their role (referred to in the guidance documentation as "universal access"). Note: The fact that a user account is created in a specific partition does not mean that the user will automatically have access to other objects in that partition. The TOE comes with a pre-defined "Common" partition, which cannot be deleted. New objects created by users are either placed in the user's partition, or - if the user has access to all partitions - are placed in the Common partition unless the user explicitly chooses otherwise. The pre-defined "admin" user with the Administrator role is located in the Common partition. Even users who are located in a partition other than Common have certain access to objects in the Common partition, as follows: • Administrator always has access to all objects defined in the TOE. • User Managers have write access to user account objects in the Common partition, except those with the Administrator role assigned to them. • Resource Administrators, Managers, Certificate Managers, Application Editors, Operators, and Guests have read access to all objects in the Common partition. Role Associated rights Administrator This role grants users complete access to all partitioned and non-partitioned objects on the system, manage remote user accounts and change their own passwords. This includes trusted updates and the management of all security functions and TSF data. Resource Administrator This role grants users complete access to all partitioned and non-partitioned objects on the system, except user account objects. Additionally, users with this role can change their own passwords. This includes management of all security functions and TSF data, including remote users, remote roles, but not other user management functions. User Manager Users with the User Manager role that have access to all partitions can create, modify, delete, and view all user accounts except those that are assigned the Administrator role, or the User Manager role with different partition access. However, User Managers cannot manage user roles for remote user accounts. Users with the User Manager role that have access only to a single partition can create, modify, delete, and view only those user accounts that are in that partition and that have access to that partition only. User accounts with the User Manager role can change their own passwords. Manager This role grants users permission to create, modify, and delete virtual servers, nodes, pools, pool members, custom profiles, and custom monitors. Users in this role can view all objects on the system and change their own passwords. Certificate Manager This role grants users permission to manage device certificates and keys, as well as perform Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) operations. Application This role grants users permission to modify nodes, pools, pool members, monitors F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 56 Role Associated rights Editor and change their own passwords. These users can view all objects on the system. In addition, the Application Editor has full access to the APM-related configuration objects in BIG-IP. In particular, this includes the following authorizations with regard to management capabilities offered by the Configuration utility: • Config Utility (basic network and licensing configuration) - No access • Traffic Summary - Read-only • Reports (reporting on TOE users) - No access • Performance - Read-only • Statistics - Read-only • Local Traffic feature - Read-only access for Virtual Servers, Profiles, iRules, SNATs, and SSL Certificates; Modification (but not creation or deletion) of Nodes, Pools, Pool Members, and Monitors; Enabling/Disabling Nodes and Monitors • Access Profiles - Modification (but not Creation/Deletion) and activation of access policies with the exception of the "Max Concurrent Users" field • AAA Servers - Full access • ACLs - Full access • VLAN Based Routing - Read-only access for VLAN, Self-IP, and VLAN Gateways; Creation/Modification/Deletion of VLAN Selection Agents • Client IP Allocation - Full access • Network Access Resources - Full access • Customization - Full access • Advanced Customization - No access • Session Variable Management - Creation/Modification/Deletion of Variable Assignment Agent; Creation/Modification (but not Deletion) of session variables • End User Security - Full access • Network features - No access to ARP configuration; Read-only access to all other features • System features - Read-only access; can change password for users in Application Editor role Operator This role grants users permission to enable or disable nodes and pool members. These users can view all objects. Auditor This role grants users permission to view all configuration data on the system, including logs and archives. Users with this role cannot create, modify, or delete any data, nor can they view TLS keys or user passwords. Guest This role grants users permission to view all objects on the system in their partition and Common partition. No Access This role prevents users from accessing the system. Table 10: BIG-IP User Roles The Security Administrator role as defined in FMT_SMR.2 is considered to include each of the roles defined in Table 10, except for the Guest and No Access roles. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 57 This functionality implements FMT_MOF.1/Services, FMT_MOF.1/ManualUpdate, FMT_MTD.1/CoreData, FMT_MTD.1/AdminAct, FMT_SMF.1, FMT_SMR.2. 7.5 Protection of the TSF 7.5.1 Protection of Sensitive Data The TOE protects passwords used for the authentication of administrative users as follows: • In storage for local user authentication, the TOE’s administrative interfaces do not offer any interface to retrieve user passwords or configuration files. • In transit between remote users and the TOE, the TOE implements SSH and TLS to protect the communication. Pre-shared keys (such as credentials for remote servers), symmetric keys, and private keys are stored in the TOE's configuration files. The TOE does not offer an interface to retrieve the contents of its configuration files. Passwords are stored in a salted hashed format. This functionality implements FPT_APW_EXT.1 and FPT_SKP_EXT.1. 7.5.2 Self-tests The following self-tests are implemented by the TOE: • The BIOS Power-On Self-Test POST test is only run at power on • The OpenSSL integrity tests are run at power on and reboot (during OpenSSL initialization) for OpenSSL. • The software integrity check (i.e., sys-icheck utility) is run at power on and reboot to check the integrity of the RPMs. This self-test can be run at any time. • The cryptographic algorithm self-tests provided by OpenSSL are run at power on and. The BIOS POST is a diagnostic program that checks the basic components required for the hardware to operate, tests the memory, and checks the disk controller, the attached disks, and the network controllers. The BIOS POST tests cannot be run on demand. The fipscheck utility is a standard Open Source utility for verifying the integrity of OpenSSL during initialization. The sys-icheck utility provides software integrity testing by comparing the current state of files in the system to a database created at install time and modified only through authorized system update mechanisms. When a discrepancy is detected, the utility reports that discrepancy. The utility can be run at any time during system operation, and will just report errors. However, once the system is placed into the Common Criteria configuration it is enabled to run at each boot, and will halt the boot if errors are found. The TOE will execute self-tests at power-on to test the cryptographic algorithms and random number generation using known answer tests for each of the algorithms. If a power-on test fails, the boot process will halt. The self-tests implemented by the TOE which are described in this section cover all aspects of the TSF are therefore and are sufficient for demonstrating that the TSF is operating correctly in the intended environment. This functionality implements FPT_TST_EXT.1/PowerOn and FPT_TST_EXT.1/OnDemand. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 58 7.5.3 Update Verification While the evaluated configuration of the TOE is limited to the specific version and patch level of BIG-IP covered in this ST, the TOE nevertheless provides functionality that supports administrators in verifying the integrity and authenticity of updates provided by F5. The Configuration Utility or tmsh can be used to query the TOE version. The TOE is able to validate digital signatures of updates provided by F5; F5 places the ISO files (updates) and signature files on their website. The administrative guidance instructs the customer to: • Download the ISO and digital signature file • Verify the ISO using that file • Install the update A signature file exists for each software change update provided by F5. The content of the signature file is a digital signature of a SHA256 digest of the ISO image file. The private and public keys are generated using the OpenSSL utility. The signing key is a 2048 bit RSA private key that is stored at F5 CM and only available for official F5 builds. The public key is included in the TMOS filesystem and is available on the F5 official site adjacent to the software archives. Note: The update verification implementation does not utilize certificates; only digital signatures. The BIG-IP verifies the SHA256 hash of software archives, using 2048-bit RSA digital signature algorithm. If the signature is verified, the software update is installed. If the signature does not verify, the software update installation fails / aborts. The administrative guidance will instruct the customer to download the update again or contact F5 support. This functionality implements FPT_TUD_EXT.1. 7.5.4 Time Source The TOE provides reliable time stamps for its own use, in particular in audit records and other time-sensitive security functionality. The TOE is an appliance that includes a hardware-based clock and the TOE’s operating system makes the real-time clock available through a mcpd-maintained time stamp. Administrators have the ability to set the hardware-based clock. The security functions that rely on this time stamp in the evaluated configuration include: • generation of audit records • session locking for administrative users • timeouts for remote sessions • certificate validation / revocation This functionality implements FPT_STM_EXT.1. 7.6 TOE Access For interactive user authentication at the web-based Configuration utility via HTTPS and the command line tmsh via SSH or the serial port console, BIG-IP implements the display of administrator-defined banners to users. This functionality implements FTA_TAB.1. The TOE terminates remote administrative user (Configuration Utility or tmsh) sessions after an administrator-defined period of inactivity. Users can also actively terminate their sessions (log out). This functionality implements FTA_SSL_EXT.1, FTA_SSL.3. F5 BIG-IP 13.1.1 APM ST July 16, 2019 ã 2018,2019 F5 Networks. All Rights Reserved. 59 Lastly, administrators are able to actively terminate these sessions (i.e., to log out and therefore close an authenticated session). This functionality implements FTA_SSL.4. 7.7 Trusted Path/Channels The TOE acts as the TLS client when communicating with audit servers for the protection of audit records sent from the TOE to an external audit server. As described in Section 7.3.2, the TOE is configured to require a mutually authenticated connection with the external audit server. The external audit server provides a certificate to the TOE during establishment of the TLS connection in order to authenticate the external audit server. This functionality implements FTP_ITC.1. Network administrators connect to the TOE remotely via a dedicated network interface to administer the TOE. Administrators are authenticated locally by user name and password; remote authentication (via LDAP or AD) is not supported by the TOE. The TOE implements the following trusted paths, which are logically distinct from other communication paths and provide assured identification of both end points, as well as protecting the transmitted data from disclosure and providing detection of modification of the transmitted data: • TLS Connections to the TOE via the web-based Configuration utility, iControl API and the iControl REST API are protected by TLS. TLS sessions are limited to TLS versions 1.1 and 1.2, using the cipher suites identified in FCS_TLSS_EXT.1[3]-[4]. • SSH Connections to the TOE's command line interface are protected using SSH version 2 as defined in FCS_SSHS_EXT.1. Additionally, the SSH implementation has hard-coded ecdh-sha2- nistp256 and ecdh-sha2-nistp384 key exchange; diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 key exchange is intentionally disabled. This functionality implements FTP_TRP.1/Admin.
