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: bpf: Skip scalar adjustment for     BPF_NEG if dst is a pointer In check_alu_op(), the verifier currently calls check_reg_arg() and     adjust_scalar_min_max_vals() unconditionally for BPF_NEG operations. However, if the destination register     holds a pointer, these scalar adjustments are unnecessary and potentially incorrect. This patch adds a     check to skip the adjustment logic when the destination register contains a pointer. (CVE-2025-40050)

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