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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be     called before the event The flag that tells the event to call its triggers after reading the event is set     for eprobes after the eprobe is enabled. This leads to a race where the eprobe may be triggered at the     beginning of the event where the record information is NULL. The eprobe then dereferences the NULL record     causing a NULL kernel pointer bug. Test for a NULL record to keep this from happening. (CVE-2022-49798)

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