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

  - The 'zipfile' module would not check the validity of the ZIP64 End of Central Directory (EOCD) Locator     record offset value would not be used to locate the ZIP64 EOCD record, instead the ZIP64 EOCD record would     be assumed to be the previous record in the ZIP archive. This could be abused to create ZIP archives that     are handled differently by the 'zipfile' module compared to other ZIP implementations. Remediation     maintains this behavior, but checks that the offset specified in the ZIP64 EOCD Locator record matches the     expected value. (CVE-2025-8291)

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