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: dm-pcache: bound the logical key     offset from persistent memory cache_key_decode() takes a key's logical off from the cache device and later     indexes req_key_tree->subtrees[] by it in get_subtree(). An off past the device forms a subtree pointer     outside the array, which rb_insert() writes through during replay. Reject a key of zero length, or whose     off+len (computed in 64 bits) exceeds the device size, before it is used. (CVE-2026-98867)

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