Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 11.6.3.3 / 12.1.4 / 13.1.1.2 / 14.0.0.3 / 14.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K91026261 advisory.

 - On BIG-IP 11.5.1-11.6.3.2, 12.1.3.4-12.1.3.7, 13.0.0 HF1-13.1.1.1, and 14.0.0-14.0.0.2, Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) does not protect against multiple zero length DATA_FINs in the reassembly queue, which can lead to an infinite loop in some circumstances. (CVE-2019-6594)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
