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: pinctrl: mediatek: eint: Fix invalid     pointer dereference for v1 platforms Commit 3ef9f710efcb (pinctrl: mediatek: Add EINT support for     multiple addresses) introduced an access to the 'soc' field of struct mtk_pinctrl in mtk_eint_do_init()     and for that an include of pinctrl-mtk-common-v2.h. However, pinctrl drivers relying on the v1 common     driver include pinctrl-mtk-common.h instead, which provides another definition of struct mtk_pinctrl that     does not contain an 'soc' field. Since mtk_eint_do_init() can be called both by v1 and v2 drivers, it will     now try to dereference an invalid pointer when called on v1 platforms. This has been observed on Genio 350     EVK (MT8365), which crashes very early in boot (the kernel trace can only be seen with earlycon). In order     to fix this, since 'struct mtk_pinctrl' was only needed to get a 'struct mtk_eint_pin', make 'struct     mtk_eint_pin' a parameter of mtk_eint_do_init() so that callers need to supply it, removing     mtk_eint_do_init()'s dependency on any particular 'struct mtk_pinctrl'. (CVE-2025-38266)

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