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

  - A flaw was found in the coreos-installer, where it writes the Ignition config to the target system with     world-readable access permissions. This flaw allows a local attacker to have read access to potentially     sensitive data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. (CVE-2021-3917)

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