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

  - of/overlay: don't leak fragment references when changeset init fails init_overlay_changeset() stores the     number of initialized fragments in ovcs->count only on full success. When find_target() or the __symbols__     lookup fails partway through, the target and overlay references taken for the fragments initialized so far     are never dropped: free_overlay_changeset() bounds its cleanup loop by ovcs->count, which is still 0.
    Store the running count on the error path so free_overlay_changeset() puts whatever was set up. The store     is guarded by ovcs->fragments because on the allocation-failure path cnt still holds the counting pass     total while there is no fragments array; everywhere else cnt only counts fully-initialized fragments.
    (CVE-2026-98831)

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