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: netfilter: nf_tables: use timestamp to     check for set element timeout Add a timestamp field at the beginning of the transaction, store it in the     nftables per-netns area. Update set backend .insert, .deactivate and sync gc path to use the timestamp,     this avoids that an element expires while control plane transaction is still unfinished. .lookup and     .update, which are used from packet path, still use the current time to check if the element has expired.
    And .get path and dump also since this runs lockless under rcu read size lock. Then, there is async gc     which also needs to check the current time since it runs asynchronously from a workqueue. (CVE-2024-27397)

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