removal/disable of tcp timestamp with reference to CVE-2005-0356

Are you running BigIP v9.0? If not, I don't think you have to worry about this. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/4000/700/sol4743.html

There seem to be a contradicting statement between the CVE-2005-0356 description and F5’s statement: · the CVE-2005-0356 description in https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2005-0356 states that PAWS used with timestamp option enabled is vulnerable to DoS · in contrast, https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/8000/000/sol8072.html PAWS can protect against DoS attacks

kindly advise
