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

  - wifi: cfg80211: don't filter by BSS type when removing stale entries When an assoc AP switches to a     channel that already has a BSS entry, cfg80211_update_assoc_bss_entry() removes that entry before     rehashing the real one, since the two would otherwise collide in the BSS rbtree. The lookup for that entry     also required it to match the connection's BSS type, so an entry advertising e.g. the IBSS capability bit     was left in place, and the following cfg80211_rehash_bss() then ran into it: WARN_ON(!cmp) Changing the     type shouldn't really happen, but can be triggered by a rogue AP/device, so drop the check and remove any     entries matching the comparison. (CVE-2026-98339)

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