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

  - netfilter: ipset: Fix overflow before widen in the bitmap_ip_create() function. When first_ip is 0,     last_ip is 0xFFFFFFFF, and netmask is 31, the value of an arithmetic expression 2 << (netmask - mask_bits
    - 1) is subject to overflow due to a failure casting operands to a larger data type before performing the     arithmetic. Note that it's harmless since the value will be checked at the next step. Found by InfoTeCS on     behalf of Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. (CVE-2023-53032)

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