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

  - A signed integer overflow in the PCP __pmGetPDU() function can be exploited via crafted network packets     during PDU processing or SASL negotiation. This permanently blinds the affected daemon, resulting in a     total denial of service (DoS) for subsequent packet reads. (CVE-2026-16529)

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