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 14.1.5 / 15.1.6.1 / 16.1.3 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K38893457 advisory.

 Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
