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

  - Calling getnetbyaddr or getnetbyaddr_r with a configured nsswitch.conf that specifies the library's DNS     backend for networks and queries for a zero-valued network in the GNU C Library version 2.0 to version     2.42 can leak stack contents to the configured DNS resolver. (CVE-2026-0915)

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