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 K15412203 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"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 K15412203 advisory.
- The Linux Kernel imposes a size restriction on the arguments and environmental strings passed through
RLIMIT_STACK/RLIM_INFINITY (1/4 of the size), but does not take the argument and environment pointers into
account, which allows attackers to bypass this limitation. This affects Linux Kernel versions 4.11.5 and
earlier. It appears that this feature was introduced in the Linux Kernel version 2.6.23.
