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

  - ata: sata_dwc_460ex: fix infinite loop in NCQ tag completion bit-scanning The hand-rolled bit-scanning     loop in the NCQ completion path has an infinite loop bug. When tag_mask has only high bits set (e.g.
    0x80000000), the inner while loop left-shifts tag_mask until it overflows to 0. At that point !(0 & 1) is     always true and 0 <<= 1 stays 0, causing an infinite loop in hardirq context with a spinlock held. Replace     the open-coded bit-scanning with __ffs() which correctly finds the least significant set bit and is     bounded by the width of the argument. (CVE-2026-68449)

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