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

  - vhost_task: Handle SIGKILL by flushing work and exiting Instead of lingering until the device is closed,     this has us handle SIGKILL by: 1. marking the worker as killed so we no longer try to use it with new     virtqueues and new flush operations. 2. setting the virtqueue to worker mapping so no new works are     queued. 3. running all the exiting works. (CVE-2024-42135)

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