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: net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF     vulnerability in class with netem as child qdisc As described in Gerrard's report [1], we have a UAF case     when an hfsc class has a netem child qdisc. The crux of the issue is that hfsc is assuming that checking     for cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 guarantees that it hasn't inserted the class in the vttree or eltree (which is     not true for the netem duplicate case). This patch checks the n_active class variable to make sure that     the code won't insert the class in the vttree or eltree twice, catering for the reentrant case.

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