BIGIP-15.1.10.6.0.11.6-ENG.iso. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000138932 advisory.

    When the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) application layer gateway (ALG) profile with Passthru Mode
    enabled and the SIP router ALG profile are configured on a Message Routing type virtual server,
    undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.(CVE-2025-20045)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the F5 Networks BIG-IP security advisory.

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