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

  - scsi: ufs: core: Fix data race in CPU latency PM QoS request handling The     cpu_latency_qos_add/remove/update_request interfaces lack internal synchronization by design, requiring     the caller to ensure thread safety. The current implementation relies on the 'pm_qos_enabled' flag, which     is insufficient to prevent concurrent access and cannot serve as a proper synchronization mechanism. This     has led to data races and list corruption issues. A typical race condition call trace is: [Thread A]     ufshcd_pm_qos_exit() --> cpu_latency_qos_remove_request() --> cpu_latency_qos_apply(); -->     pm_qos_update_target() --> plist_del <--(1) delete plist node --> memset(req, 0, sizeof(*req)); -->     hba->pm_qos_enabled = false; [Thread B] ufshcd_devfreq_target --> ufshcd_devfreq_scale -->     ufshcd_scale_clks --> ufshcd_pm_qos_update <--(2) pm_qos_enabled is true -->     cpu_latency_qos_update_request --> pm_qos_update_target --> plist_del <--(3) plist node use-after-free     Introduces a dedicated mutex to serialize PM QoS operations, preventing data races and ensuring safe     access to PM QoS resources, including sysfs interface reads. (CVE-2025-40130)

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