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

  - media: uvcvideo: Fix deadlock if uvc_status_stop is called from async_ctrl.work If a UVC camera has an     asynchronous control, uvc_status_stop may be called from async_ctrl.work: uvc_ctrl_status_event_work()     uvc_ctrl_status_event() uvc_ctrl_clear_handle() uvc_pm_put() uvc_status_put() uvc_status_stop()     cancel_work_sync() This will cause a deadlock, since cancel_work_sync will wait for     uvc_ctrl_status_event_work to complete before returning. Fix this by returning early from uvc_status_stop     if we are currently in the work function. flush_status now remains false until uvc_status_start is called     again, ensuring that uvc_ctrl_status_event_work won't resubmit the URB. (CVE-2026-74437)

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