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

  - s390/dasd: fix error checks in dasd_copy_pair_store() dasd_add_busid() can return an error via ERR_PTR()     if an allocation fails. However, two callsites in dasd_copy_pair_store() do not check the result,     potentially resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by checking the result with IS_ERR() and     returning the error up the stack. (CVE-2024-42320)

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