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

  - s390: Disable ARCH_WANT_OPTIMIZE_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP As reported by Luiz Capitulino enabling HVO on s390 leads     to reproducible crashes. The problem is that kernel page tables are modified without flushing     corresponding TLB entries. Even if it looks like the empty flush_tlb_all() implementation on s390 is the     problem, it is actually a different problem: on s390 it is not allowed to replace an active/valid page     table entry with another valid page table entry without the detour over an invalid entry. A direct     replacement may lead to random crashes and/or data corruption. In order to invalidate an entry special     instructions have to be used (e.g. ipte or idte). Alternatively there are also special instructions     available which allow to replace a valid entry with a different valid entry (e.g. crdte or cspg). Given     that the HVO code currently does not provide the hooks to allow for an implementation which is compliant     with the s390 architecture requirements, disable ARCH_WANT_OPTIMIZE_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP again, which is     basically a revert of the original patch which enabled it. (CVE-2025-68179)

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