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

  - futex: Also allocate private hash on vfork() As Jann demonstrated, it is entirely feasible to access the     mm through vfork(). Therefore we need to allocate a private hash on vfork() as well as any other CLONE_VM     user. Specifically, it must be avoided to have (private) futex waiters before allocating the private hash.
    (CVE-2026-98281)

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