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

  - BlueZ OBEX Library Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows     network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of BlueZ. User     interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must connect to a malicious     Bluetooth device. The specific flaw exists within the handling of OBEX protocol parameters. The issue     results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end     of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute     arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-20937. (CVE-2023-51594)

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