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

  - sctp: validate embedded INIT chunk and address list lengths in cookie sctp_unpack_cookie() only checked     that the embedded INIT chunk length did not exceed the remaining cookie payload, but did not ensure that     the INIT chunk is large enough to contain a complete INIT header. A malformed COOKIE_ECHO can therefore     carry a truncated INIT chunk whose length field is smaller than sizeof(struct sctp_init_chunk). Later,     sctp_process_init() accesses INIT parameters unconditionally, which may lead to out-of-bounds reads. In     addition, raw_addr_list_len is not fully validated against the remaining cookie payload. When cookie     authentication is disabled, an attacker can supply an oversized raw_addr_list_len and cause     sctp_raw_to_bind_addrs() to read beyond the end of the cookie. The address parser also lacks sufficient     bounds checks for parameter headers and lengths, allowing malformed address parameters to trigger out-of-     bounds reads. Fix this by: - requiring the embedded INIT chunk length to be at least sizeof(struct     sctp_init_chunk); - validating that the INIT chunk and raw address list together fit within the cookie     payload; - verifying sufficient data exists for each address parameter header and payload before parsing     it. Note that sctp_verify_init() must be called after sctp_unpack_cookie() and before sctp_process_init()     when cookie authentication is disabled. This will be addressed in a separate patch. (CVE-2026-53224)

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