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

  - ACPI: video: Fix use-after-free in acpi_video_switch_brightness() The switch_brightness_work delayed work     accesses device->brightness and device->backlight, freed by acpi_video_dev_unregister_backlight() during     device removal. If the work executes after acpi_video_bus_unregister_backlight() frees these resources, it     causes a use-after-free when acpi_video_switch_brightness() dereferences device->brightness or     device->backlight. Fix this by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() for each device's switch_brightness_work     in acpi_video_bus_remove_notify_handler() after removing the notify handler that queues the work. This     ensures the work completes before the memory is freed. [ rjw: Changelog edit ] (CVE-2025-40211)

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