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: mm: cachestat: fix folio read-after-     free in cache walk In cachestat, we access the folio from the page cache's xarray to compute its page     offset, and check for its dirty and writeback flags. However, we do not hold a reference to the folio     before performing these actions, which means the folio can concurrently be released and reused as another     folio/page/slab. Get around this altogether by just using xarray's existing machinery for the folio page     offsets and dirty/writeback states. This changes behavior for tmpfs files to now always report zeroes in     their dirty and writeback counters. This is okay as tmpfs doesn't follow conventional writeback cache     behavior: its pages get cleaned during swapout, after which they're no longer resident etc.
    (CVE-2024-26630)

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