Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix match incorrectly in     dev_args_match_device syzkaller found a failed assertion: assertion failed: (args->devid != (u64)-1) ||     args->missing, in fs/btrfs/volumes.c:6921 This can be triggered when we set devid to (u64)-1 by ioctl. In     this case, the match of devid will be skipped and the match of device may succeed incorrectly. Patch     562d7b1512f7 introduced this function which is used to match device. This function contains two matching     scenarios, we can distinguish them by checking the value of args->missing rather than check whether     args->devid and args->uuid is default value. (CVE-2022-49849)

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