Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.

For BIG-IP system running in Appliance mode, a successful exploit can allow the attacker to cross a security boundary.
