The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.1.5.3 / 15.1.8 / 16.1.3.3 / 17.0.0.2 / 17.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K46048342 advisory.

  • On versions 17.0.x before 17.0.0.2, 16.1.x before 16.1.3.3, 15.1.x before 15.1.8, 14.1.x before 14.1.5.3, and all versions of 13.1.x, when a BIG-IP AFM NAT policy with a destination NAT rule is configured on a FastL4 virtual server, undisclosed traffic can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
    (CVE-2023-22281)

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