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

  - In the Linux kernel through 5.16.10, certain binary files may have the exec-all attribute if they were     built in approximately 2003 (e.g., with GCC 3.2.2 and Linux kernel 2.4.20). This can cause execution of     bytes located in supposedly non-executable regions of a file. (CVE-2022-25265)

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