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

  - wifi: mac80211: increase scan_ies_len for S1G Currently the S1G capability element is not taken into     account for the scan_ies_len, which leads to a buffer length validation failure in     ieee80211_prep_hw_scan() and subsequent WARN in __ieee80211_start_scan(). This prevents hw scanning from     functioning. To fix ensure we accommodate for the S1G capability length. (CVE-2025-39957)

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