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

  - wifi: ath12k: fix read pointer after free in ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev() In     ath12k_mac_assign_vif_to_vdev(), if arvif is created on a different radio, it gets deleted from that radio     through a call to ath12k_mac_unassign_link_vif(). This action frees the arvif pointer. Subsequently, there     is a check involving arvif, which will result in a read-after-free scenario. Fix this by moving this check     after arvif is again assigned via call to ath12k_mac_assign_link_vif(). Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI     WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00173-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 (CVE-2024-57995)

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