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: perf/x86/amd/core: Always clear status     for idx The variable 'status' (which contains the unhandled overflow bits) is not being properly masked in     some cases, displaying the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 156 PID: 475601 at     arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:972 amd_pmu_v2_handle_irq+0x216/0x270 This seems to be happening because the     loop is being continued before the status bit being unset, in case x86_perf_event_set_period() returns 0.
    This is also causing an inconsistency because the handled counter is incremented, but the status bit is     not cleaned. Move the bit cleaning together above, together when the handled counter is incremented.
    (CVE-2023-53073)

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