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

  - A flaw was found in Podman. This issue may allow an attacker to create a specially crafted container that,     when configured to share the same IPC with at least one other container, can create a large number of IPC     resources in /dev/shm. The malicious container will continue to exhaust resources until it is out-of-     memory (OOM) killed. While the malicious container's cgroup will be removed, the IPC resources it created     are not. Those resources are tied to the IPC namespace that will not be removed until all containers using     it are stopped, and one non-malicious container is holding the namespace open. The malicious container is     restarted, either automatically or by attacker control, repeating the process and increasing the amount of     memory consumed. With a container configured to restart always, such as `podman run --restart=always`,     this can result in a memory-based denial of service of the system. (CVE-2024-3056)

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