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

  - media: dvbdev: adopts refcnt to avoid UAF dvb_unregister_device() is known that prone to use-after-free.
    That is, the cleanup from dvb_unregister_device() releases the dvb_device even if there are pointers     stored in file->private_data still refer to it. This patch adds a reference counter into struct dvb_device     and delays its deallocation until no pointer refers to the object. (CVE-2022-50274)

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