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

  - hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) reject short block-read responses in the GPIO accessors adm1266_gpio_get() and     adm1266_gpio_get_multiple() both compose the pin-status word as pins_status = read_buf[0] + (read_buf[1]     << 8); right after i2c_smbus_read_block_data(), guarding only against an error return. A well-behaved     device returns 2 bytes for GPIO_STATUS/PDIO_STATUS, but the helper happily reports a 0- or 1-byte response     too. If the device returns 0 bytes, both read_buf slots are uninitialized stack memory; if it returns 1     byte, read_buf[1] is. The composed value then flows through set_bit() into the caller's *bits in     adm1266_gpio_get_multiple(), or into the return value of adm1266_gpio_get(), and ends up in userspace via     gpiolib (sysfs and the char-dev ioctls). That leaks a few bits of kernel stack per request on any device     whose firmware glitch, bus error, or hostile slave produces a short block-read response. Add the missing     length check to both call sites and surface a short response as -EIO. (CVE-2026-64083)

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