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

  - CDC-NCM: avoid overflow in sanity checking A broken device may give an extreme offset like 0xFFF0 and a     reasonable length for a fragment. In the sanity check as formulated now, this will create an integer     overflow, defeating the sanity check. Both offset and offset + len need to be checked in such a manner     that no overflow can occur. And those quantities should be unsigned. (CVE-2022-48938)

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