However, F5 identifies the vulnerability status as Not vulnerable because the tcpdump utility is not installed in default, standard, or recommended configurations. Security Advisory Recommended Actions If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version, then no upgrade candidate currently exists. Mitigation For the Traffix SDC product, to mitigate this vulnerability, you can update the tcpdump package to the latest version (4.9.3 or later). Impact of action: Performing the recommended action should not have a negative impact on your system.
