"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 15.1.10.8 / 16.1.6.1 / 17.1.3 / 17.5.1.3. It
is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000150814 advisory.

    It is possible to construct a zone such that some queries to it will generate responses containing
    numerous records in the Additional section. An attacker sending many such queries can cause either the
    authoritative server itself or an independent resolver to use disproportionate resources processing the
    queries. Zones will usually need to have been deliberately crafted to attack this exposure. This issue
    affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.11.37, 9.16.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.32, 9.20.0
    through 9.20.4, 9.21.0 through 9.21.3, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.11.37-S1, 9.16.8-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, and
    9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.32-S1.(CVE-2024-11187)

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.");
