"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 K000150749 advisory.
The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
were designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global
properties of the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and
ipaddress.IPv6Network classes, where values wouldnt be returned in accordance with the latest
information from the IANA Special-Purpose Address Registries. CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated
information from these registries and thus have the intended behavior.(CVE-2024-4032)
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.");
