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

  - tipc: Dont send random pad bytes in RESET/ACTIVATE messages The interface name is passed in a fixed length     (TIPC_MAX_IF_NAME) buffer. Replace the strcpy(data, l->if_name) with memcpy() so that the pad bytes are     actually written (l->if_name[] is zero padded) rather than sending random bytes from the skb to the remote     system. Replace two other strcpy() with strscpy(). (CVE-2026-98097)

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