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

  - drm/i915/bios: Tolerate devdata==NULL in intel_bios_encoder_supports_dp_dual_mode() If we have no VBT, or     the VBT didn't declare the encoder in question, we won't have the 'devdata' for the encoder. Instead of     oopsing just bail early. We won't be able to tell whether the port is DP++ or not, but so be it. (cherry     picked from commit 26410896206342c8a80d2b027923e9ee7d33b733) (CVE-2024-26938)

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