Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - media: dvb-usb: m920x: Fix a potential memory leak in m920x_i2c_xfer() 'read' is freed when it is known to     be NULL, but not when a read error occurs. Revert the logic to avoid a small leak, should a m920x_read()     call fail. (CVE-2023-54266)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
