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: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix 6 GHz scan     construction If more than 255 colocated APs exist for the set of all APs found during 2.4/5 GHz scanning,     then the 6 GHz scan construction will loop forever since the loop variable has type u8, which can never     reach the number found when that's bigger than 255, and is stored in a u32 variable. Also move it into the     loops to have a smaller scope. Using a u32 there is fine, we limit the number of APs in the scan list and     each has a limit on the number of RNR entries due to the frame size. With a limit of 1000 scan results, a     frame size upper bound of 4096 (really it's more like ~2300) and a TBTT entry size of at least 11, we get     an upper bound for the number of ~372k, well in the bounds of a u32. (CVE-2024-53055)

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