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

  - mm/hugetlb: preserve mremap address delta when skipping page tables move_hugetlb_page_tables() optimizes     mremap() by advancing to the last entry in the page table when the source page table does not exist,     either initially or after unsharing a PMD table. The common loop increment then steps to the first entry     in the next page table. However, the code advances both the source and destination addresses to the last     entries in their respective page tables, which is wrong. The destination address must be advanced only by     the same amount as the source address. If the source and destination offsets within their page tables     differ, the destination address can be advanced too far, causing follow-up issues. Fix this by advancing     the destination address by the source advance distance. With a reproducer, we were able to trigger a     kernel panic on x86-64. With this fix in place, we can no longer reproduce the issue. (CVE-2026-98373)

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