The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 15.1.9 / 16.1.4 / 17.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K24207649 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in glibc. An off-by-one buffer overflow and underflow in getcwd() may lead to memory corruption when the size of the buffer is exactly 1. A local attacker who can control the input buffer and size passed to getcwd() in a setuid program could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code and escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2021-3999)

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