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

  - scsi: sg: Allow waiting for commands to complete on removed device When a SCSI device is removed while in     active use, currently sg will immediately return -ENODEV on any attempt to wait for active commands that     were sent before the removal. This is problematic for commands that use SG_FLAG_DIRECT_IO since the data     buffer may still be in use by the kernel when userspace frees or reuses it after getting ENODEV, leading     to corrupted userspace memory (in the case of READ-type commands) or corrupted data being sent to the     device (in the case of WRITE-type commands). This has been seen in practice when logging out of a     iscsi_tcp session, where the iSCSI driver may still be processing commands after the device has been     marked for removal. Change the policy to allow userspace to wait for active sg commands even when the     device is being removed. Return -ENODEV only when there are no more responses to read. (CVE-2022-50215)

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