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

  - netfilter: use get_random_u32 instead of prandom bh might occur while updating per-cpu rnd_state from user     context, ie. local_out path. BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: nginx/2725     caller is nft_ng_random_eval+0x24/0x54 [nft_numgen] Call Trace: check_preemption_disabled+0xde/0xe0     nft_ng_random_eval+0x24/0x54 [nft_numgen] Use the random driver instead, this also avoids need for local     prandom state. Moreover, prandom now uses the random driver since d4150779e60f (random32: use real rng     for non-deterministic randomness). Based on earlier patch from Pablo Neira. (CVE-2022-49698)

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