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

  - ALSA: scarlett2: Fix buffer overflow in config retrieval The scarlett2_usb_get_config() function has a     logic error in the endianness conversion code that can cause buffer overflows when count > 1. The code     checks `if (size == 2)` where `size` is the total buffer size in bytes, then loops `count` times treating     each element as u16 (2 bytes). This causes the loop to access `count * 2` bytes when the buffer only has     `size` bytes allocated. Fix by checking the element size (config_item->size) instead of the total buffer     size. This ensures the endianness conversion matches the actual element type. (CVE-2026-23078)

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