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

  - dm cache: fix flushing uninitialized delayed_work on cache_ctr error An unexpected WARN_ON from     flush_work() may occur when cache creation fails, caused by destroying the uninitialized delayed_work     waker in the error path of cache_create(). For example, the warning appears on the superblock checksum     error. Reproduce steps: dmsetup create cmeta --table 0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0 dmsetup create cdata
    --table 0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192 dmsetup create corig --table 0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144 dd     if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct dmsetup create cache --table 0 524288     cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \ /dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0 Kernel     logs: (snip) WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 84 at kernel/workqueue.c:4178 __flush_work+0x5d4/0x890 Fix by pulling     out the cancel_delayed_work_sync() from the constructor's error path. This patch doesn't affect the use-     after-free fix for concurrent dm_resume and dm_destroy (commit 6a459d8edbdb (dm cache: Fix UAF in     destroy())) as cache_dtr is not changed. (CVE-2024-50280)

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