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

  - openCryptoki is a PKCS#11 library and provides tooling for Linux and AIX. Versions 2.3.2 and above are     vulnerable to symlink-following when running in privileged contexts. A token-group user can redirect file     operations to arbitrary filesystem targets by planting symlinks in group-writable token directories,     resulting in privilege escalation or data exposure. Token and lock directories are 0770 (group-writable     for token users), so any token-group member can plant files and symlinks inside them. When run as root,     the base code handling token directory file access, as well as several openCryptoki tools used for     administrative purposes, may reset ownership or permissions on existing files inside the token     directories. An attacker with token-group membership can exploit the system when an administrator runs a     PKCS#11 application or administrative tool that performs chown on files inside the token directory during     normal maintenance. This issue is fixed in commit 5e6e4b4, but has not been included in a released version     at the time of publication. (CVE-2026-23893)

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