"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 K000150204 advisory.

    The snprintf implementation in PostgreSQL before 9.0.20, 9.1.x before 9.1.16, 9.2.x before 9.2.11, 9.3.x
    before 9.3.7, and 9.4.x before 9.4.2 does not properly handle system-call errors, which allows attackers
    to obtain sensitive information or have other unspecified impact via unknown vectors, as demonstrated by
    an out-of-memory error.(CVE-2015-3166)

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
