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

To mitigate this vulnerability, you can configure SNMPv3 to restrict access
with a password, and to only trusted IP addresses. To do so, refer to K13535:
Restricting SNMP access to the BIG-IP system.
