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: devlink: fix xa_alloc_cyclic() error     handling In case of returning 1 from xa_alloc_cyclic() (wrapping) ERR_PTR(1) will be returned, which will     cause IS_ERR() to be false. Which can lead to dereference not allocated pointer (rel). Fix it by checking     if err is lower than zero. This wasn't found in real usecase, only noticed. Credit to Pierre.
    (CVE-2025-22017)

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