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

  - hwmon: (coretemp) Simplify platform device handling Coretemp's platform driver is unconventional. All the     real work is done globally by the initcall and CPU hotplug notifiers, while the driver effectively just     wraps an allocation and the registration of the hwmon interface in a long-winded round-trip through the     driver core. The whole logic of dynamically creating and destroying platform devices to bring the     interfaces up and down is error prone, since it assumes platform_device_add() will synchronously bind the     driver and set drvdata before it returns, thus results in a NULL dereference if drivers_autoprobe is     turned off for the platform bus. Furthermore, the unusual approach of doing that from within a CPU hotplug     notifier, already commented in the code that it deadlocks suspend, also causes lockdep issues for other     drivers or subsystems which may want to legitimately register a CPU hotplug notifier from a platform bus     notifier. All of these issues can be solved by ripping this unusual behaviour out completely, simply tying     the platform devices to the lifetime of the module itself, and directly managing the hwmon interfaces from     the hotplug notifiers. There is a slight user-visible change in that /sys/bus/platform/drivers/coretemp     will no longer appear, and /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.n will remain present if package n is hotplugged     off, but hwmon users should really only be looking for the presence of the hwmon interfaces, whose     behaviour remains unchanged. (CVE-2023-53612)

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

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-006581 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
