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

  - Client use of server error message in PostgreSQL allows a server not trusted under current SSL or GSS     settings to furnish arbitrary non-NUL bytes to the libpq application. For example, a man-in-the-middle     attacker could send a long error message that a human or screen-scraper user of psql mistakes for valid     query results. This is probably not a concern for clients where the user interface unambiguously indicates     the boundary between one error message and other text. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.1, 16.5, 15.9, 14.14,     13.17, and 12.21 are affected. (CVE-2024-10977)

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