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

  - net/sched: cake: reject overhead values that underflow length CAKE accepts signed overhead values and     stores them in an s16, but the adjusted packet length calculation uses unsigned arithmetic. A negative     effective length can therefore wrap to a large value. Such configurations make rate accounting depend on     integer wraparound rather than on the packet size userspace intended to model. A static netlink lower     bound is not enough because packets reaching CAKE can be smaller than any reasonable manual-overhead     allowance. Fold the signed overhead adjustment into the existing datapath MPU clamp so negative adjusted     lengths are clamped before link-layer framing adjustments. (CVE-2026-72326)

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