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

  - fs/ntfs3: prevent infinite loops caused by the next valid being the same When processing valid within the     range [valid : pos), if valid cannot be retrieved correctly, for example, if the retrieved valid value is     always the same, this can trigger a potential infinite loop, similar to the hung problem reported by     syzbot [1]. Adding a check for the valid value within the loop body, and terminating the loop and     returning -EINVAL if the value is the same as the current value, can prevent this. [1] INFO: task     syz.4.21:6056 blocked for more than 143 seconds. Call Trace: rwbase_write_lock+0x14f/0x750     kernel/locking/rwbase_rt.c:244 inode_lock include/linux/fs.h:1027 [inline] ntfs_file_write_iter+0xe6/0x870     fs/ntfs3/file.c:1284 (CVE-2026-45864)

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