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: s390: avoid using global register for     current_stack_pointer Commit 30de14b1884b (s390: current_stack_pointer shouldn't be a function) made     current_stack_pointer a global register variable like on many other architectures. Unfortunately on s390     it uncovers old gcc bug which is fixed only since gcc-9.1 [gcc commit 3ad7fed1cc87 (S/390: Fix PR89775.
    Stackpointer save/restore instructions removed)] and backported to gcc-8.4 and later. Due to this bug gcc     versions prior to 8.4 generate broken code which leads to stack corruptions. Current minimal gcc version     required to build the kernel is declared as 5.1. It is not possible to fix all old gcc versions, so work     around this problem by avoiding using global register variable for current_stack_pointer. (CVE-2022-49804)

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