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

  - wifi: mac80211: avoid out-of-bounds access in monitor In NAN, we don't know on what band the frame will be     sent. Therefore we set info->band to NUM_NL80211_BANDS. However, this leads to out-of-bound access in     ieee80211_add_tx_radiotap_header when we try to access the sbands array. Fix it by not accessing the array     if the band is NUM_NL80211_BANDS. This means that we will not report rate info for legacy rate in NAN. But     nobody really cares about it. (CVE-2026-97511)

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