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 K49921213 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 K49921213 advisory.
- A use-after-free vulnerability introduced in glibc upstream version 2.14 was found in the way the tilde
expansion was carried out. Directory paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid username were
affected by this issue. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted path
that, when processed by the glob function, would potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. This was
fixed in version 2.32. (CVE-2020-1752)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
