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

  - Bluetooth: hci_event: validate skb length for unknown CC opcode In hci_cmd_complete_evt(), if the command     complete event has an unknown opcode, we assume the first byte of the remaining skb->data contains the     return status. However, parameter data has previously been pulled in hci_event_func(), which may leave the     skb empty. If so, using skb->data[0] for the return status uses un-init memory. The fix is to check     skb->len before using skb->data. (CVE-2025-40301)

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