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

  - Improper neutralization of newlines in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows a user of the origin server to inject     arbitrary code for restore-time execution as the client operating system account running psql to restore     the dump, via psql meta-commands inside a purpose-crafted object name. The same attacks can achieve SQL     injection as a superuser of the restore target server. pg_dumpall, pg_restore, and pg_upgrade are also     affected. Versions before PostgreSQL 17.6, 16.10, 15.14, 14.19, and 13.22 are affected. Versions before     11.20 are unaffected. CVE-2012-0868 had fixed this class of problem, but version 11.20 reintroduced it.
    (CVE-2025-8715)

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