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

  - tracing: Add down_write(trace_event_sem) when adding trace event When a module is loaded, it adds trace     events defined by the module. It may also need to modify the modules trace printk formats to replace enum     names with their values. If two modules are loaded at the same time, the adding of the event to the     ftrace_events list can corrupt the walking of the list in the code that is modifying the printk format     strings and crash the kernel. The addition of the event should take the trace_event_sem for write while it     adds the new event. Also add a lockdep_assert_held() on that semaphore in __trace_add_event_dirs() as it     iterates the list. (CVE-2025-38539)

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