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

  - firmware: arm_scmi: Check mailbox/SMT channel for consistency On reception of a completion interrupt the     shared memory area is accessed to retrieve the message header at first and then, if the message sequence     number identifies a transaction which is still pending, the related payload is fetched too. When an SCMI     command times out the channel ownership remains with the platform until eventually a late reply is     received and, as a consequence, any further transmission attempt remains pending, waiting for the channel     to be relinquished by the platform. Once that late reply is received the channel ownership is given back     to the agent and any pending request is then allowed to proceed and overwrite the SMT area of the just     delivered late reply; then the wait for the reply to the new request starts. It has been observed that the     spurious IRQ related to the late reply can be wrongly associated with the freshly enqueued request: when     that happens the SCMI stack in-flight lookup procedure is fooled by the fact that the message header now     present in the SMT area is related to the new pending transaction, even though the real reply has still to     arrive. This race-condition on the A2P channel can be detected by looking at the channel status bits: a     genuine reply from the platform will have set the channel free bit before triggering the completion IRQ.
    Add a consistency check to validate such condition in the A2P ISR. (CVE-2023-52608)

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