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

  - ACPI: platform: Use acpi_bus_get_primary_device() The acpi_get_first_physical_node() usage in     acpi_platform_fill_resource() and acpi_create_platform_device() is generally unsafe because in theory the     device returned by it may be freed at any time [1]. It is also inefficient because     acpi_get_first_physical_node() is called multiple times for the same argument which can be avoided.
    Address these issues by using acpi_bus_get_primary_device() instead of acpi_get_first_physical_node() and     adjusting the code to call it just once at the beginning of and acpi_create_platform_device() and drop the     device reference acquired by it upon the return from that function. (CVE-2026-100072)

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