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

  - s390/dcssblk: fix kernel crash with list_add corruption Commit fb08a1908cb1 (dax: simplify the dax_device     <-> gendisk association) introduced new logic for gendisk association, requiring drivers to explicitly     call dax_add_host() and dax_remove_host(). For dcssblk driver, some dax_remove_host() calls were missing,     e.g. in device remove path. The commit also broke error handling for out_dax case in device add path,     resulting in an extra put_device() w/o the previous get_device() in that case. This lead to stale xarray     entries after device add / remove cycles. In the case when a previously used struct gendisk pointer     (xarray index) would be used again, because blk_alloc_disk() happened to return such a pointer, the     xa_insert() in dax_add_host() would fail and go to out_dax, doing the extra put_device() in the error     path. In combination with an already flawed error handling in dcssblk (device_register() cleanup), which     needs to be addressed in a separate patch, this resulted in a missing device_del() / klist_del(), and     eventually in the kernel crash with list_add corruption on a subsequent device_add() / klist_add(). Fix     this by adding the missing dax_remove_host() calls, and also move the put_device() in the error path to     restore the previous logic. (CVE-2023-54117)

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