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

  - RDMA/rxe: Reject non-8-byte ATOMIC_WRITE payloads atomic_write_reply() at     drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c unconditionally dereferences 8 bytes at payload_addr(pkt): value =
    *(u64 *)payload_addr(pkt); check_rkey() previously accepted an ATOMIC_WRITE request with pktlen == resid     == 0 because the length validation only compared pktlen against resid. A remote initiator that sets the     RETH length to 0 therefore reaches atomic_write_reply() with a zero-byte logical payload, and the     responder reads sizeof(u64) bytes from past the logical end of the packet into skb->head tailroom, then     writes those 8 bytes into the attacker's MR via rxe_mr_do_atomic_write(). That is a remote disclosure of 4     bytes of kernel tailroom per probe (the other 4 bytes are the packet's own trailing ICRC). IBA oA19-28     defines ATOMIC_WRITE as exactly 8 bytes. Anything else is protocol-invalid. Hoist a strict length check     into check_rkey() so the responder never reaches the unchecked dereference, and keep the existing WRITE-     family length logic for the normal RDMA WRITE path. Reproduced on mainline with an unmodified rxe driver:
    a sustained zero-length ATOMIC_WRITE probe repeatedly leaks adjacent skb head-buffer bytes into the     attacker's MR, including recognisable kernel strings and partial kernel-direct-map pointer words. With     this patch applied the responder rejects the PDU and the MR stays all-zero. (CVE-2026-46114)

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