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

  - Vim is a greatly improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Vim allows to redirect screen messages     using the `:redir` ex command to register, variables and files. It also allows to show the contents of     registers using the `:registers` or `:display` ex command. When redirecting the output of `:display` to a     register, Vim will free the register content before storing the new content in the register. Now when     redirecting the `:display` command to a register that is being displayed, Vim will free the content while     shortly afterwards trying to access it, which leads to a use-after-free. Vim pre 9.1.1115 checks in the     ex_display() function, that it does not try to redirect to a register while displaying this register at     the same time. However this check is not complete, and so Vim does not check the `+` and `*` registers     (which typically donate the X11/clipboard registers, and when a clipboard connection is not possible will     fall back to use register 0 instead. In Patch 9.1.1115 Vim will therefore skip outputting to register zero     when trying to redirect to the clipboard registers `*` or `+`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no     known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-26603)

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