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

  - scsi: lpfc: Use memcpy() for BIOS version The strlcat() with FORTIFY support is triggering a panic because     it thinks the target buffer will overflow although the correct target buffer size is passed in. Anyway,     instead of memset() with 0 followed by a strlcat(), just use memcpy() and ensure that the resulting buffer     is NULL terminated. BIOSVersion is only used for the lpfc_printf_log() which expects a properly terminated     string. (CVE-2025-38332)

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