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

  - power: supply: pm8916_lbc: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed() Using the `devm_` variant for     requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_` variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means     that the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the interrupt handler (since     `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a     race condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply` handle has been freed, *but*     just _before_ the corresponding unregistration of the IRQ handler has run. This will lead to the IRQ     handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with a freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the     system or otherwise silently corrupts the memory... Note that there is a similar situation which can also     happen during `probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering the `power_supply`     handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation of using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in     `power_supply_changed()`. Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_ the     registration of the `power_supply` handle. (CVE-2026-45938)

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