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 / 16.1.3.1 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K93723284 advisory.

This vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) on the BIG-IP system. There is no data plane exposure; this is a control plane issue only.
