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, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: IPoIB, Block PKEY     interfaces with less rx queues than parent A user is able to configure an arbitrary number of rx queues     when creating an interface via netlink. This doesn't work for child PKEY interfaces because the child     interface uses the parent receive channels. Although the child shares the parent's receive channels, the     number of rx queues is important for the channel_stats array: the parent's rx channel index is used to     access the child's channel_stats. So the array has to be at least as large as the parent's rx queue size     for the counting to work correctly and to prevent out of bound accesses. This patch checks for the     mentioned scenario and returns an error when trying to create the interface. The error is propagated to     the user. (CVE-2022-48883)

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