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

  - Bluetooth: btrtl: validate firmware patch bounds rtlbt_parse_firmware() copies patch_length - 4 bytes     before appending the firmware version. A malformed firmware patch shorter than the version field can make     this subtraction underflow and turn the copy into an oversized read and write during Bluetooth setup. The     existing patch_offset + patch_length check can also wrap on 32-bit architectures. Validate the patch     length and range without arithmetic overflow before allocating or copying the patch. (CVE-2026-68479)

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