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

  - wifi: ipw2200: fix memory leak in ipw_wdev_init() In the error path of ipw_wdev_init(), exception value is     returned, and the memory applied for in the function is not released. Also the memory is not released in     ipw_pci_probe(). As a result, memory leakage occurs. So memory release needs to be added to the error path     of ipw_wdev_init(). (CVE-2022-50660)

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