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

  - wifi: mac80211: don't WARN for connections on invalid channels It's not clear (to me) how exactly syzbot     managed to hit this, but it seems conceivable that e.g. regulatory changed and has disabled a channel     between scanning (channel is checked to be usable by cfg80211_get_ies_channel_number) and connecting on     the channel later. With one scenario that isn't covered elsewhere described above, the warning isn't good,     replace it with a (more informative) error message. (CVE-2025-71227)

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