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: mlx5: fix possible ptp queue fifo use-     after-free Fifo indexes are not checked during pop operations and it leads to potential use-after-free     when poping from empty queue. Such case was possible during re-sync action. WARN_ON_ONCE covers future     cases. There were out-of-order cqe spotted which lead to drain of the queue and use-after-free because of     lack of fifo pointers check. Special check and counter are added to avoid resync operation if SKB could     not exist in the fifo because of OOO cqe (skb_id must be between consumer and producer index).
    (CVE-2023-53398)

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