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

  - A stack-based buffer overflow in the dynamic loader (ld.so) of the GNU C Library (glibc) versions 2.14     through 2.44 allows a local attacker to crash or corrupt the memory of setuid/setgid (AT_SECURE) programs.
    When such a program's DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH begins with $ORIGIN and is followed by NUL or '/' the loader     both reads past the end of the path buffer and writes past the end of a stack-allocated internal buffer.
    The corrupted loader stack can lead to a loader crash (denial of service) and limited disclosure of     process memory. (CVE-2026-95818)

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