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/eprobes: Have event probes be     consistent with kprobes and uprobes Currently, if a symbol @ is attempted to be used with an event probe     (eprobes), it will cause a NULL pointer dereference crash. Both kprobes and uprobes can reference data     other than the main registers. Such as immediate address, symbols and the current task name. Have eprobes     do the same thing. For comm, if comm is used and the event being attached to does not have the comm     field, then make it the $comm that kprobes has. This is consistent to the way histograms and filters     work. (CVE-2022-50075)

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