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

  - A vulnerability was found in Golang FIPS OpenSSL. This flaw allows a malicious user to randomly cause an     uninitialized buffer length variable with a zeroed buffer to be returned in FIPS mode. It may also be     possible to force a false positive match between non-equal hashes when comparing a trusted computed hmac     sum to an untrusted input sum if an attacker can send a zeroed buffer in place of a pre-computed sum. It     is also possible to force a derived key to be all zeros instead of an unpredictable value. This may have     follow-on implications for the Go TLS stack. (CVE-2024-9355)

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