The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the K000139698 advisory.
Integer overflow in the get_data function in zipimport.c in CPython (aka Python) before 2.7.12, 3.x before 3.4.5, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a negative data size value, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-5636)
The legacy email.utils.parseaddr function in Python through 3.11.4 allows attackers to trigger RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object via a crafted argument.
This argument is plausibly an untrusted value from an application’s input data that was supposed to contain a name and an e-mail address. NOTE: email.utils.parseaddr is categorized as a Legacy API in the documentation of the Python email package. Applications should instead use the email.parser.BytesParser or email.parser.Parser class. NOTE: the vendor’s perspective is that this is neither a vulnerability nor a bug. The email package is intended to have size limits and to throw an exception when limits are exceeded;
they were exceeded by the example demonstration code. (CVE-2023-36632)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
