The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 17.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000137270 advisory.

  • When a BIG-IP ASM/Advanced WAF security policy is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in memory resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated (CVE-2024-21789)

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