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

  - GRUB2 does not call the module fini functions on exit, leading to Debian/Ubuntu's peimage GRUB2 module     leaving UEFI system table hooks after exit. This lead to a use-after-free condition, and could possibly     lead to secure boot bypass. (CVE-2024-2312)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0741-1 advisory.
