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

  - nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() Syzbot has reported a potential hang in     nilfs_detach_log_writer() called during nilfs2 unmount. Analysis revealed that this is because     nilfs_segctor_sync(), which synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after     nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace below: nilfs_detach_log_writer     nilfs_segctor_destroy nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Shut down log writer thread flush_work     nilfs_iput_work_func nilfs_dispose_list iput nilfs_evict_inode nilfs_transaction_commit     nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync) nilfs_segctor_sync --> Attempt to synchronize with log     writer thread *** DEADLOCK *** Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log writer     thread returns normally without synchronizing after it terminates, and by forcing tasks that are already     waiting to complete once after the thread terminates. The skipped inode metadata flushout will then be     processed together in the subsequent cleanup work in nilfs_segctor_destroy(). (CVE-2024-38582)

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