DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in F5 FirePass, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks
and bypass certain security restrictions.

1) The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the controller when
accepting pre-logon sequence tokens. This can be exploited to access
the login page from a non-compliant workstation using a token
generated on a compliant workstation.

2) Certain input passed to the pre-logon pages is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 5.5.2 and 6.1.

SOLUTION:
Apply hotfixes.
