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 13.1.1.5 / 14.0.0.5 / 14.1.0.6 / 14.1.2 / 15.0.1.1 / 15.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K92411323 advisory.

- On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, and 13.1.0-13.1.1.4, the TMM process may produce a core file when an upstream server or cache sends the BIG-IP an invalid age header value.
(CVE-2019-6666)
