"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by
a vulnerability as referenced in the K000139901 advisory.

    In PyYAML before 5.1, the yaml.load() API could execute arbitrary code if used with untrusted data. The
    load() function has been deprecated in version 5.1 and the 'UnsafeLoader' has been introduced for backward
    compatibility with the function.(CVE-2017-18342)

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
number.");
