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

  - padata: Fix pd UAF once and for all There is a race condition/UAF in padata_reorder that goes back to the     initial commit. A reference count is taken at the start of the process in padata_do_parallel, and released     at the end in padata_serial_worker. This reference count is (and only is) required for padata_replace to     function correctly. If padata_replace is never called then there is no issue. In the function     padata_reorder which serves as the core of padata, as soon as padata is added to queue->serial.list, and     the associated spin lock released, that padata may be processed and the reference count on pd would go     away. Fix this by getting the next padata before the squeue->serial lock is released. In order to make     this possible, simplify padata_reorder by only calling it once the next padata arrives. (CVE-2025-38584)

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