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: vt: prevent kernel-infoleak in     con_font_get() font.data may not initialize all memory spaces depending on the implementation of     vc->vc_sw->con_font_get. This may cause info-leak, so to prevent this, it is safest to modify it to     initialize the allocated memory space to 0, and it generally does not affect the overall performance of     the system. (CVE-2024-50076)

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