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: bpf: Mark sched_process_wait argument     as nullable do_wait() passes wo->wo_pid to the sched_process_wait tracepoint. kernel_wait4() leaves wo_pid     NULL for wait4(-1), and kernel_waitid_prepare() does likewise for waitid(P_ALL). btf_ctx_access()     currently types argument 0 as PTR_TO_BTF_ID | PTR_TRUSTED. Without PTR_MAYBE_NULL, the verifier accepts an     unchecked dereference. Trusted pointer loads have no fault protection, so a wait for any child can then     cause a NULL pointer dereference in JITed BPF code. Add sched_process_wait to raw_tp_null_args[] with     argument 0 marked nullable. The verifier rejects an unchecked dereference while preserving access after     the program checks the pointer for NULL. (CVE-2026-98059)

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