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

  - A flaw was found in sssd. When authenticating with a YubiKey, the SSSD PAM responder can crash due to a     use-after-free vulnerability, where a memory pointer is incorrectly handled. A local attacker could     exploit this flaw by manipulating smartcard or YubiKey contents, leading to a denial of service that     disrupts authentication. This vulnerability also presents a potential for privilege escalation, although     it is difficult to exploit. (CVE-2026-12610)

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