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

  - HID: i2c-hid: fix potential buffer overflow in i2c_hid_get_report() `i2c_hid_xfer` is used to read     `recv_len + sizeof(__le16)` bytes of data into `ihid->rawbuf`. The former can come from the userspace in     the hidraw driver and is only bounded by HID_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE(16384) by default (unless we also set     `max_buffer_size` field of `struct hid_ll_driver` which we do not). The latter has size determined at     runtime by the maximum size of different report types you could receive on any particular device and can     be a much smaller value. Fix this by truncating `recv_len` to `ihid->bufsize - sizeof(__le16)`. The impact     is low since access to hidraw devices requires root. (CVE-2026-23178)

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