The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 16.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K83102920 advisory.

  • The userfaultfd implementation in the Linux kernel before 4.19.7 mishandles access control for certain UFFDIO_ ioctl calls, as demonstrated by allowing local users to write data into holes in a tmpfs file (if the user has read-only access to that file, and that file contains holes), related to fs/userfaultfd.c and mm/userfaultfd.c. (CVE-2018-18397)

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