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

  - hfsplus: Verify inode mode when loading from disk syzbot is reporting that S_IFMT bits of inode->i_mode     can become bogus when the S_IFMT bits of the 16bits mode field loaded from disk are corrupted. According     to [1], the permissions field was treated as reserved in Mac OS 8 and 9. According to [2], the reserved     field was explicitly initialized with 0, and that field must remain 0 as long as reserved. Therefore, when     the mode field is not 0 (i.e. no longer reserved), the file must be S_IFDIR if dir == 1, and the file     must be one of S_IFREG/S_IFLNK/S_IFCHR/ S_IFBLK/S_IFIFO/S_IFSOCK if dir == 0. (CVE-2025-68767)

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