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

  - hfsplus: don't use BUG_ON() in hfsplus_create_attributes_file() When the volume header contains erroneous     values that do not reflect the actual state of the filesystem, hfsplus_fill_super() assumes that the     attributes file is not yet created, which later results in hitting BUG_ON() when     hfsplus_create_attributes_file() is called. Replace this BUG_ON() with -EIO error with a message to     suggest running fsck tool. (CVE-2025-38712)

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

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6009 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 6.1.153-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
