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: crypto: pcrypt - Call crypto layer     directly when padata_do_parallel() return -EBUSY Since commit 8f4f68e788c3 (crypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask     for PADATA_RESET), the pcrypt encryption and decryption operations return -EAGAIN when the CPU goes     online or offline. In alg_test(), a WARN is generated when pcrypt_aead_decrypt() or pcrypt_aead_encrypt()     returns -EAGAIN, the unnecessary panic will occur when panic_on_warn set 1. Fix this issue by calling     crypto layer directly without parallelization in that case. (CVE-2024-56690)

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