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

  - bpf: consider that tail calls invalidate packet pointers Tail-called programs could execute any of the     helpers that invalidate packet pointers. Hence, conservatively assume that each tail call invalidates     packet pointers. Making the change in bpf_helper_changes_pkt_data() automatically makes use of check_cfg()     logic that computes 'changes_pkt_data' effect for global sub-programs, such that the following program     could be rejected: int tail_call(struct __sk_buff *sk) { bpf_tail_call_static(sk, &jmp_table, 0); return     0; } SEC(tc) int not_safe(struct __sk_buff *sk) { int *p = (void *)(long)sk->data; ... make p valid ...
    tail_call(sk); *p = 42; /* this is unsafe */ ... } The tc_bpf2bpf.c:subprog_tc() needs change: mark it as     a function that can invalidate packet pointers. Otherwise, it can't be freplaced with     tailcall_freplace.c:entry_freplace() that does a tail call. (CVE-2024-58237)

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