"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 K000140745 advisory.
If a server hosts a zone containing a KEY Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a KEY
Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache, a client can exhaust resolver CPU resources by
sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.0.0 through 9.11.37,
9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.27, 9.19.0 through 9.19.24, 9.9.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1,
9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.49-S1, and 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.27-S1.(CVE-2024-1975)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the F5 Networks BIG-IP security advisory.
