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

  - exfat: fix improper check of dentry.stream.valid_size We found an infinite loop bug in the exFAT file     system that can lead to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition. When a dentry in an exFAT filesystem is     malformed, the following system calls  SYS_openat, SYS_ftruncate, and SYS_pwrite64  can cause the kernel     to hang. Root cause analysis shows that the size validation code in exfat_find() does not check whether     dentry.stream.valid_size is negative. As a result, the system calls mentioned above can succeed and     eventually trigger the DoS issue. This patch adds a check for negative dentry.stream.valid_size to prevent     this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-40287)

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