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

  - drm/scheduler: signal scheduled fence when kill job When an entity from application B is killed,     drm_sched_entity_kill() removes all jobs belonging to that entity through     drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work(). If application A's job depends on a scheduled fence from application     B's job, and that fence is not properly signaled during the killing process, application A's dependency     cannot be cleared. This leads to application A hanging indefinitely while waiting for a dependency that     will never be resolved. Fix this issue by ensuring that scheduled fences are properly signaled when an     entity is killed, allowing dependent applications to continue execution. (CVE-2025-38436)

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