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

  - wifi: wilc1000: fix RCU usage in connect path With lockdep enabled, calls to the connect function from     cfg802.11 layer lead to the following warning: ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage     6.7.0-rc1-wt+ #333 Not tainted -----------------------------     drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/hif.c:386 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

Fix RCU dereference     usage by moving it to a RCU read critical section. To avoid wrapping the whole wilc_parse_join_bss_param     under the critical section, just use the critical section to copy ies data (CVE-2024-27053)

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