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: OPP: add index check to assert to     avoid buffer overflow in _read_freq() Pass the freq index to the assert function to make sure we do not     read a freq out of the opp->rates[] table when called from the indexed variants:
    dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact_indexed() or dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil/floor_indexed(). Add a secondary     parameter to the assert function, unused for assert_single_clk() then add assert_clk_index() which will     check for the clock index when called from the _indexed() find functions. (CVE-2024-57998)

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