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

  - go-git is a highly extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. Prior to 5.16.5, a     vulnerability was discovered in go-git whereby data integrity values for .pack and .idx files were not     properly verified. This resulted in go-git potentially consuming corrupted files, which would likely     result in unexpected errors such as object not found. For context, clients fetch packfiles from upstream     Git servers. Those files contain a checksum of their contents, so that clients can perform integrity     checks before consuming it. The pack indexes (.idx) are generated locally by go-git, or the git cli, when     new .pack files are received and processed. The integrity checks for both files were not being verified     correctly. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.16.5. (CVE-2026-25934)

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