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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: Fix slab-out-of-bounds access     in auth message processing If a (potentially corrupted) message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY contains a     positive value in its result field, it is treated as an error code by ceph_handle_auth_reply() and     returned to handle_auth_reply(). Thereafter, an attempt is made to send the preallocated message of type     CEPH_MSG_AUTH, where the returned value is interpreted as the size of the front segment to send. If the     result value in the message is greater than the size of the memory buffer allocated for the front segment,     an out-of-bounds access occurs, and the content of the memory region beyond this buffer is sent out. This     patch fixes the issue by treating only negative values in the result field as errors. Positive values are     therefore treated as success in the same way as a zero value. Additionally, a BUG_ON is added to
    __send_prepared_auth_request() comparing the len parameter to front_alloc_len to prevent sending the     message if it exceeds the bounds of the allocation and to make it easier to catch any logic flaws leading     to this. (CVE-2026-46119)

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