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

  - RDMA/mlx5: Fix undefined shift of user RQ WQE size set_rq_size() computes the RQ WQE size as 1 <<     rq_wqe_shift based on the user-provided rq_wqe_shift, which is only checked to be greater than 32, so     shifts of 32 are still accepted. A shift of 31 also overflows a signed integer, leading to undefined     behavior. Use check_shl_overflow() to compute the RQ WQE size and reject any invalid values.
    (CVE-2026-74297)

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