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: s390/pci: Fix missing check for     zpci_create_device() error return The zpci_create_device() function returns an error pointer that needs to     be checked before dereferencing it as a struct zpci_dev pointer. Add the missing check in __clp_add()     where it was missed when adding the scan_list in the fixed commit. Simply not adding the device to the     scan list results in the previous behavior. (CVE-2025-37974)

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