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: mm/huge_memory: drop beyond-EOF folios     with the right number of refs When an after-split folio is large and needs to be dropped due to EOF,     folio_put_refs(folio, folio_nr_pages(folio)) should be used to drop all page cache refs. Otherwise, the     folio will not be freed, causing memory leak. This leak would happen on a filesystem with blocksize >     page_size and a truncate is performed, where the blocksize makes folios split to >0 order ones, causing     truncated folios not being freed. (CVE-2025-22000)

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