Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

  - A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function     nilfs_new_inode of the file fs/nilfs2/inode.c of the component BPF. The manipulation leads to use after     free. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
    The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211992. (CVE-2022-3649)

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