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

  - bpf: Fix overflow of jump offset in constant blinding bpf_jit_blind_insn() rewrites 'if rX op imm goto     off' into: AX = imm ^ rnd AX ^= rnd if rX op AX goto off and subtracts 2 from off when the jump is     backward. off is s16, so -32767 and -32768 wrap and the jump goes 32767 insns forward, past the end of the     prog. The jump is inside the patch, hence bpf_adj_branches() doesn't check it. The kernel crashes when     such prog runs with bpf_jit_harden=2. Return -ERANGE in such case. bpf_jit_blind_constants() fails the     same way when blinding of other insns moves a jump out of range. (CVE-2026-98816)

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