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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: Use ktime_t rather than     int when dealing with timestamps Code which interacts with timestamps needs to use the ktime_t type     returned by functions like ktime_get. The int type does not offer enough space to store these values, and     attempting to use it is a recipe for problems. In this particular case, overflows would occur when     calculating/storing timestamps leading to incorrect values being reported to userspace. In some cases     these bad timestamps cause input handling in userspace to appear hung. (CVE-2023-53797)

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