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: netfilter: ipset: fix region locking     in hash types Region locking introduced in v5.6-rc4 contained three macros to handle the region locks:
    ahash_bucket_start(), ahash_bucket_end() which gave back the start and end hash bucket values belonging to     a given region lock and ahash_region() which should give back the region lock belonging to a given hash     bucket. The latter was incorrect which can lead to a race condition between the garbage collector and     adding new elements when a hash type of set is defined with timeouts. (CVE-2025-37997)

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