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

  - dmaengine: idxd: fix double free of wq, engine, and group structs The release callbacks for wq, engine,     and group devices (idxd_conf_wq_release, idxd_conf_engine_release, idxd_conf_group_release) each call     kfree() on the enclosing struct. The setup error paths and cleanup functions also call kfree() explicitly     after put_device(), producing a double free whenever put_device() drops the reference count to zero and     fires the release. In the setup functions, device_initialize() is called before device_add(), so the     reference count is exactly 1 at the error sites. put_device() unconditionally fires the release, which     frees the struct; the subsequent explicit kfree() then operates on freed memory. For idxd_setup_wqs(), the     wq release callback also owns opcap_bmap and wqcfg. The error unwind additionally freed those fields     explicitly before calling put_device(), causing further double frees on both. Remove the redundant     explicit kfree() calls from all setup error paths and cleanup functions for wq, engine, and group structs,     delegating sole ownership of those allocations to the release callbacks. (CVE-2026-80698)

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