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

  - The acpi_ds_create_operands() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/dsutils.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9     does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain     sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through     4.9) via a crafted ACPI table. (CVE-2017-13693)

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