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

  - gpiolib: cdev: fix uninitialised kfifo If a line is requested with debounce, and that results in     debouncing in software, and the line is subsequently reconfigured to enable edge detection then the     allocation of the kfifo to contain edge events is overlooked. This results in events being written to and     read from an uninitialised kfifo. Read events are returned to userspace. Initialise the kfifo in the case     where the software debounce is already active. (CVE-2024-36898)

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