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

  - On Linux, if the target of Root.Chmod is replaced with a symlink while the chmod operation is in progress,     Chmod can operate on the target of the symlink, even when the target lies outside the root. The Linux     fchmodat syscall silently ignores the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag, which Root.Chmod uses to avoid symlink     traversal. Root.Chmod checks its target before acting and returns an error if the target is a symlink     lying outside the root, so the impact is limited to cases where the target is replaced with a symlink     between the check and operation. (CVE-2026-32282)

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