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

  - tools/power/x86/intel-speed-select: Harden daemon pidfile open Avoid symlink-based pidfile clobbering by     opening the pidfile with O_NOFOLLOW and validating it with fstat() before locking/writing. The daemon     currently uses a fixed pidfile path under /tmp. A local unprivileged user can pre-create a symlink at that     path and cause a root-run daemon instance to write into an attacker-chosen file. (CVE-2026-80663)

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