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

  - i2c: sprd: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails The PM reference count is not expected to be     incremented on return in sprd_i2c_master_xfer() and sprd_i2c_remove(). However, pm_runtime_get_sync will     increment the PM reference count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result in a reference     leak here. Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage counter balanced. (CVE-2020-36780)

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