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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_scpi: Fix string     overflow in SCPI genpd driver Without the bound checks for scpi_pd->name, it could result in the buffer     overflow when copying the SCPI device name from the corresponding device tree node as the name string is     set at maximum size of 30. Let us fix it by using devm_kasprintf so that the string buffer is allocated     dynamically. (CVE-2021-47609)

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