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: nfsd: avoid ref leak in     nfsd_open_local_fh() If two calls to nfsd_open_local_fh() race and both successfully call     nfsd_file_acquire_local(), they will both get an extra reference to the net to accompany the file     reference stored in *pnf. One of them will fail to store (using xchg()) the file reference in *pnf and     will drop that reference but WON'T drop the accompanying reference to the net. This leak means that when     the nfs server is shut down it will hang in nfsd_shutdown_net() waiting for &nn->nfsd_net_free_done. This     patch adds the missing nfsd_net_put(). (CVE-2025-38567)

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