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

  - most: usb: Fix use-after-free in hdm_disconnect hdm_disconnect() calls most_deregister_interface(), which     eventually unregisters the MOST interface device with device_unregister(iface->dev). If that drops the     last reference, the device core may call release_mdev() immediately while hdm_disconnect() is still     executing. The old code also freed several mdev-owned allocations in hdm_disconnect() and then performed     additional put_device() calls. Depending on refcount order, this could lead to use-after-free or double-     free when release_mdev() ran (or when unregister paths also performed puts). Fix by moving the frees of     mdev-owned allocations into release_mdev(), so they happen exactly once when the device is truly released,     and by dropping the extra put_device() calls in hdm_disconnect() that are redundant after     device_unregister() and most_deregister_interface(). This addresses the KASAN slab-use-after-free reported     by syzbot in hdm_disconnect(). See report and stack traces in the bug link below. (CVE-2025-40223)

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