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

  - s390/ptrace: handle setting of fpc register correctly If the content of the floating point control (fpc)     register of a traced process is modified with the ptrace interface the new value is tested for validity by     temporarily loading it into the fpc register. This may lead to corruption of the fpc register of the     tracing process: if an interrupt happens while the value is temporarily loaded into the fpc register, and     within interrupt context floating point or vector registers are used, the current fp/vx registers are     saved with save_fpu_regs() assuming they belong to user space and will be loaded into fp/vx registers when     returning to user space. test_fp_ctl() restores the original user space fpc register value, however it     will be discarded, when returning to user space. In result the tracer will incorrectly continue to run     with the value that was supposed to be used for the traced process. Fix this by saving fpu register     contents with save_fpu_regs() before using test_fp_ctl(). (CVE-2023-52598)

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