The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 17.1.0 / 16.1.4 / 15.1.9.
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000132420 advisory.
When TCP Verified Accept is enabled on a TCP profile that is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in memory resource utilization.

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