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

  - Validating certificate chains which use policies is unexpectedly inefficient when certificates in the     chain contain a very large number of policy mappings, possibly causing denial of service. This only     affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots     CertPool, or in the system certificate pool. (CVE-2026-32281)

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