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: x86/kprobes: Update kcb status flag     after singlestepping Fix kprobes to update kcb (kprobes control block) status flag to KPROBE_HIT_SSDONE     even if the kp->post_handler is not set. This bug may cause a kernel panic if another INT3 user runs right     after kprobes because kprobe_int3_handler() misunderstands the INT3 is kprobe's single stepping INT3.
    (CVE-2022-50096)

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