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

  - arm64: acpi: Harden get_cpu_for_acpi_id() against missing CPU entry In a review discussion of the changes     to support vCPU hotplug where a check was added on the GICC being enabled if was online, it was noted that     there is need to map back to the cpu and use that to index into a cpumask. As such, a valid ID is needed.
    If an MPIDR check fails in acpi_map_gic_cpu_interface() it is possible for the entry in cpu_madt_gicc[cpu]     == NULL. This function would then cause a NULL pointer dereference. Whilst a path to trigger this has not     been established, harden this caller against the possibility. (CVE-2024-46822)

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