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: mm/damon/core: avoid overflow in     damon_feed_loop_next_input() damon_feed_loop_next_input() is inefficient and fragile to overflows.
    Specifically, 'score_goal_diff_bp' calculation can overflow when 'score' is high. The calculation is     actually unnecessary at all because 'goal' is a constant of value 10,000. Calculation of 'compensation' is     again fragile to overflow. Final calculation of return value for under-achiving case is again fragile to     overflow when the current score is under-achieving the target. Add two corner cases handling at the     beginning of the function to make the body easier to read, and rewrite the body of the function to avoid     overflows and the unnecessary bp value calcuation. (CVE-2024-50270)

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