The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.1.5 / 15.1.5 / 16.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K84583382 advisory.

  - VMware Tools prior to 10.0.9 contains multiple file system races in libDeployPkg, related to the use of     hard-coded paths under /tmp. Successful exploitation of this issue may result in a local privilege     escalation. CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (CVE-2015-5191)

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