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

  - perf/core: Fix NULL pmu_ctx passed to pmu->sched_task() perf_pmu_sched_task() returns early when     cpuctx->task_ctx is set, and cpc->task_epc is only non-NULL while a task context is scheduled in on this     CPU. __perf_pmu_sched_task() therefore always passes NULL: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer     dereference at virtual address 00 pc : armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50 Call trace:
    armv8pmu_sched_task+0x14/0x50 (P) perf_pmu_sched_task+0xac/0x108 __perf_event_task_sched_out+0x6c/0xe0     Pass &cpc->epc instead, the CPU-wide context for this PMU, which the function already dereferences a few     lines up to find pmu. armv8pmu_sched_task() is the only in-tree implementation that dereferences the     argument, and it only reads ->pmu, so the oops needs BRBE, added in v6.17. (CVE-2026-98477)

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