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

  - platform/x86: intel-hid: Protect ACPI notify handler against recursion Since commit e2ffcda16290 (ACPI:
    OSL: Allow Notify () handlers to run on all CPUs) ACPI notify handlers like the intel-hid     notify_handler() may run on multiple CPU cores racing with themselves. On convertibles and detachables     (matched by DMI chassis-type 31 and 32 in dmi_auto_add_switch[]) the SW_TABLET_MODE input device is     registered lazily from notify_handler() on the first tablet-mode event, via intel_hid_switches_setup().
    When two such events race on different CPUs both can pass the !priv->switches check and register the     priv->switches input device twice, resulting in a duplicate sysfs entry and a subsequent NULL pointer     dereference. This is the same class of bug fixed by commit e075c3b13a0a (platform/x86: intel-vbtn:
    Protect ACPI notify handler against recursion) for the sibling intel-vbtn driver. Protect intel-hid     notify_handler() from racing with itself with a mutex to fix this. (CVE-2026-64603)

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