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: ntfs: treat any nonzero dio zero-range     return as an error ntfs_dio_zero_range() returns either 0 or a negative errno from blkdev_issue_zeroout();
    it never returns a positive value. The zeroing failure check in ntfs_attr_fallocate() therefore never     fired, so a failed zeroing operation was silently ignored: the loop kept going, the newly allocated     clusters were folded into initialized_size and the write could succeed leaving stale on-disk data. Treat     any nonzero return as an error and abort the allocation. (CVE-2026-98137)

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