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

  - rds: ib: Clear the sg list when mapping an MR fails rds_ib_map_frmr() stores the caller's scatterlist in     the MR before DMA mapping and registration can fail. On failure, __rds_rdma_map() unpins the pages and     frees the scatterlist, but rds_ib_free_frmr() can still return the MR to the pool with the stale pointer     set. This leaves the pool with a dangling scatterlist and can lead to local privilege escalation. KASAN     detects the resulting use-after-free when the MR is later torn down: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in
    __rds_ib_teardown_mr Read of size 8 Call Trace: __rds_ib_teardown_mr rds_ib_unreg_frmr     rds_ib_flush_mr_pool rds_ib_flush_mrs rds_free_mr rds_setsockopt Store the scatterlist in the MR only     after DMA mapping succeeds. If DMA mapping fails, return directly while the MR fields remain clear; the     caller keeps ownership of the scatterlist and its pinned pages. If a later registration step fails, unmap     the scatterlist and clear the MR fields before returning. (CVE-2026-98524)

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