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

  - Bluetooth: mgmt: fix race in read_unconf_index_list() read_unconf_index_list() counts unconfigured     controllers before allocating its response, then checks the device flags again while filling it.
    hci_dev_list_lock stabilizes list membership, but it does not serialize the per-device flags. During     asynchronous controller setup, the worker can set HCI_UNCONFIGURED and clear HCI_SETUP between the two     passes. A controller omitted from the allocation count can then become eligible for the fill pass, causing     an out-of-bounds write to rp->index[]. Allocate space for every device on hci_dev_list. Since list     membership cannot change while hci_dev_list_lock is held, the response remains large enough regardless of     flag transitions. The reported count and response length still include only eligible unconfigured     controllers. (CVE-2026-98456)

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