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: hv_netvsc: Register VF in netvsc_probe     if NET_DEVICE_REGISTER missed If hv_netvsc driver is unloaded and reloaded, the NET_DEVICE_REGISTER     handler cannot perform VF register successfully as the register call is received before netvsc_probe is     finished. This is because we register register_netdevice_notifier() very early( even before     vmbus_driver_register()). To fix this, we try to register each such matching VF( if it is visible as a     netdevice) at the end of netvsc_probe. (CVE-2024-26820)

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