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

  - snappy-java is a fast compressor/decompressor for Java. Due to unchecked multiplications, an integer     overflow may occur in versions prior to 1.1.10.1, causing an unrecoverable fatal error. The function     `compress(char[] input)` in the file `Snappy.java` receives an array of characters and compresses it. It     does so by multiplying the length by 2 and passing it to the rawCompress` function. Since the length is     not tested, the multiplication by two can cause an integer overflow and become negative. The rawCompress     function then uses the received length and passes it to the natively compiled maxCompressedLength     function, using the returned value to allocate a byte array. Since the maxCompressedLength function treats     the length as an unsigned integer, it doesn't care that it is negative, and it returns a valid value,     which is casted to a signed integer by the Java engine. If the result is negative, a     `java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException` exception will be raised while trying to allocate the array `buf`.
    On the other side, if the result is positive, the `buf` array will successfully be allocated, but its size     might be too small to use for the compression, causing a fatal Access Violation error. The same issue     exists also when using the `compress` functions that receive double, float, int, long and short, each     using a different multiplier that may cause the same issue. The issue most likely won't occur when using a     byte array, since creating a byte array of size 0x80000000 (or any other negative value) is impossible in     the first place. Version 1.1.10.1 contains a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-34454)

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