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

  - clockevents: Add missing resets of the next_event_forced flag The prevention mechanism against timer     interrupt starvation missed to reset the next_event_forced flag in a couple of places: - When the clock     event state changes. That can cause the flag to be stale over a shutdown/startup sequence - When a non-     forced event is armed, which then prevents rearming before that event. If that event is far out in the     future this will cause missed timer interrupts. - In the suspend wakeup handler. That led to stalls which     have been reported by several people. Add the missing resets, which fixes the problems for the reporters.
    (CVE-2026-31574)

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