The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.1.4.6 / 15.1.5.1 / 16.1.2.2 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K24624116 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- Calls to EVP_CipherUpdate, EVP_EncryptUpdate and EVP_DecryptUpdate may overflow the output length argument
in some cases where the input length is close to the maximum permissable length for an integer on the
platform. In such cases the return value from the function call will be 1 (indicating success), but the
output length value will be negative. This could cause applications to behave incorrectly or crash.
OpenSSL versions 1.1.1i and below are affected by this issue. Users of these versions should upgrade to
OpenSSL 1.1.1j. OpenSSL versions 1.0.2x and below are affected by this issue. However OpenSSL 1.0.2 is out
of support and no longer receiving public updates. Premium support customers of OpenSSL 1.0.2 should
upgrade to 1.0.2y. Other users should upgrade to 1.1.1j. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1j (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1i).
Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2y (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2x). (CVE-2021-23840)
