The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 12.1.5.3 / 13.1.3.5 / 14.1.3.1 / 15.1.1 / 16.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K43850230 advisory.

  • On BIG-IP DNS 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, and 12.1.0-12.1.5.2, undisclosed series of DNS requests may cause TMM to restart and generate a core file. (CVE-2020-27717)

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