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: thermal: core: call put_device() only     after device_register() fails put_device() shouldn't be called before a prior call to device_register().
    __thermal_cooling_device_register() doesn't follow that properly and needs fixing. Also     thermal_cooling_device_destroy_sysfs() is getting called unnecessarily on few error paths. Fix all this by     placing the calls at the right place. Based on initial work done by Caleb Connolly. (CVE-2023-53012)

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