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

  - HID: nintendo: fix rumble worker null pointer deref We can dereference a null pointer trying to queue work     to a destroyed workqueue. If the device is disconnected, nintendo_hid_remove is called, in which the     rumble_queue is destroyed. Avoid using that queue to defer rumble work once the controller state is set to     JOYCON_CTLR_STATE_REMOVED. This eliminates the null pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-49974)

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