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: netfilter: nf_tables: possible module     reference underflow in error path dst->ops is set on when nft_expr_clone() fails, but module refcount has     not been bumped yet, therefore nft_expr_destroy() leads to module reference underflow. (CVE-2022-50048)

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