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

  - ALSA: usb-audio: Fix NULL pointer deference in try_to_register_card In try_to_register_card(), the return     value of usb_ifnum_to_if() is passed directly to usb_interface_claimed() without a NULL check, which will     lead to a NULL pointer dereference when creating an invalid USB audio device. Fix this by adding a check     to ensure the interface pointer is valid before passing it to usb_interface_claimed(). (CVE-2025-40085)

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