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: xhci: Fix null pointer dereference in     remove if xHC has only one roothub The remove path in xhci platform driver tries to remove and put both     main and shared hcds even if only a main hcd exists (one roothub) This causes a null pointer dereference     in reboot for those controllers. Check that the shared_hcd exists before trying to remove it.
    (CVE-2022-49962)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:02264-1 advisory.
