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 K11068141 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- The HTTP clients in the (1) httplib, (2) urllib, (3) urllib2, and (4) xmlrpclib libraries in CPython (aka
Python) 2.x before 2.7.9 and 3.x before 3.4.3, when accessing an HTTPS URL, do not (a) check the
certificate against a trust store or verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the
subject's (b) Common Name or (c) subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-
middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate. (CVE-2014-9365)
