*These BIG-IP, Enterprise Manager, and BIG-IQ versions use an affected version of NTP, but are not remotely vulnerable as the query operation is allowed only on localhost in our distribution.

Recommended action

If the previous table lists a version in the Versions known to be not vulnerable column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to the listed version. If the table does not list any version in the column, then no upgrade candidate currently exists.
