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

  - smb: client: add NULL check in automount_fullpath page is checked for null in
    __build_path_from_dentry_optional_prefix when tcon->origin_fullpath is not set. However, the check is     missing when it is set. Add a check to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2025-38208)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1080 advisory.
