Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 12.1.5.3 / 13.1.3.6 / 14.1.4 / 15.1.3 / 16.0.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K05300051 advisory.

This vulnerability affects TMM by way of a virtual server configured with an SCTP profile. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
