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

  - NFS/localio: prevent direct reclaim recursion into NFS via nfs_writepages LOCALIO is an NFS loopback mount     optimization that avoids using the network for READ, WRITE and COMMIT if the NFS client and server are     determined to be on the same system. But because LOCALIO is still fundamentally just NFS loopback mount     it is susceptible to recursion deadlock via direct reclaim, e.g.: NFS LOCALIO down to XFS and then back     into NFS via nfs_writepages. Fix LOCALIO's potential for direct reclaim deadlock by ensuring that all its     page cache allocations are done from GFP_NOFS context. Thanks to Ben Coddington for pointing out commit     ad22c7a043c2 (xfs: prevent stack overflows from page cache allocation). (CVE-2026-46256)

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