An update of the linux package has been released.

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

  - The memory allocation function ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED does not guarantee a successful allocation, but the     subsequent code directly dereferences the pointer that receives it, which may lead to null pointer     dereference. To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null, return exception code     AE_NO_MEMORY. (CVE-2024-24856)

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