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

  - netfilter: IDLETIMER: Fix for possible ABBA deadlock Deletion of the last rule referencing a given     idletimer may happen at the same time as a read of its file in sysfs: |     ====================================================== | WARNING: possible circular locking dependency     detected | 6.12.0-rc7-01692-g5e9a28f41134-dirty #594 Not tainted |
    ------------------------------------------------------ | iptables/3303 is trying to acquire lock: |     ffff8881057e04b8 (kn->active#48){++++}-{0:0}, at: __kernfs_remove+0x20 | | but task is already holding     lock: | ffffffffa0249068 (list_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: idletimer_tg_destroy_v] | | which lock already     depends on the new lock. A simple reproducer is: | #!/bin/bash | | while true; do | iptables -A INPUT -i     foo -j IDLETIMER --timeout 10 --label testme | iptables -D INPUT -i foo -j IDLETIMER --timeout 10
    --label testme | done & | while true; do | cat /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/testme >/dev/null | done     Avoid this by freeing list_mutex right after deleting the element from the list, then continuing with the     teardown. (CVE-2024-54683)

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