"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 16.1.6 / 17.1.3. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000150321 advisory.

    The archive_wstring_append_from_mbs function in archive_string.c in libarchive 3.2.2 allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted
    archive file. (CVE-2016-10209)

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.");
