The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.1.2.2 / 15.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K24578092 advisory.

  • Race condition in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 4.9.7 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application that makes concurrent perf_event_open system calls for moving a software group into a hardware context. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-6786. (CVE-2017-6001)

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