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

  - The decoupled download and installation steps in libzypp before 17.5.0 could lead to a corrupted RPM being     left in the cache, where a later call would not display the corrupted RPM warning and allow installation,     a problem caused by malicious warnings only displayed during download. (CVE-2018-7685)

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