It says near the end of the article what would potentially need to be done:

 

"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."

 

If you aren't effected by it, then there is nothing to do!

 

Hope that helps! If it does, please up-vote and select this answer, it would be greatly appreciated!

no doesn't really answer my question, I usually do go ahead and check the recommended actions.

 

But why do some alerts have this in all RED lettering and some don't: The security issue described in this article has either been resolved or does not affect any F5 products. There will be no further updates, unless new information is discovered.
