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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: futex/pi: Reject cross-mm private     futex owners A private futex key borrows the waiter's mm without taking an mm_users reference.
    Nevertheless, attach_to_pi_owner() currently accepts an owner from a different address space and copies     the private key into the owner's PI state. When that owner exits, exit_pi_state_list() uses the saved key     to find the hash bucket and acquires a reference to the waiter's private hash. If the last user of the     waiter's mm exits concurrently, futex_hash_free() frees the hash while the owner still uses its bucket and     reference. Prevent this by validating in attach_to_pi_owner() that, for private futexes, the owner mm and     waiter mm are the same. Perform the check with the owner's pi_lock held and after validating     owner::futex::state to serialize against a concurrent PI-state exit cleanup. [ tglx: Amended comment ]     (CVE-2026-80778)

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