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

  - crypto: lzo - Fix compression buffer overrun Unlike the decompression code, the compression code in LZO     never checked for output overruns. It instead assumes that the caller always provides enough buffer space,     disregarding the buffer length provided by the caller. Add a safe compression interface that checks for     the end of buffer before each write. Use the safe interface in crypto/lzo. (CVE-2025-38068)

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