"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by
a vulnerability as referenced in the K87351324 advisory.

    Out-of-bounds write in the BIOS authenticated code module for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a
    privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.(CVE-2021-33124)ImpactA
    local attacker logged in as a privileged user can exploit the vulnerability to potentially enable
    escalation of privileges.The following F5 hardware platforms are vulnerable to CVE-2021-33124:BIG-IP

    F5 hardware/software compatibility matrixandK86001294: F5OS hardware/software support matrix.All versions
    of Virtual Edition (VE) for the BIG-IP and BIG-IQ products are potentially impacted if the processors
    underlying the VE installations areaffected. Microcode updates from Intel are available to address this
    issue but must be applied at the hardware level, which is outside the scope of the ability of F5 to
    support or patch.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the F5 Networks BIG-IP security advisory.
