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/efistub: Use 1:1 file:memory     mapping for PE/COFF .compat section The .compat section is a dummy PE section that contains the address of     the 32-bit entrypoint of the 64-bit kernel image if it is bootable from 32-bit firmware (i.e.,     CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y) This section is only 8 bytes in size and is only referenced from the loader, and so it     is placed at the end of the memory view of the image, to avoid the need for padding it to 4k, which is     required for sections appearing in the middle of the image. Unfortunately, this violates the PE/COFF spec,     and even if most EFI loaders will work correctly (including the Tianocore reference implementation), PE     loaders do exist that reject such images, on the basis that both the file and memory views of the file     contents should be described by the section headers in a monotonically increasing manner without leaving     any gaps. So reorganize the sections to avoid this issue. This results in a slight padding overhead (< 4k)     which can be avoided if desired by disabling CONFIG_EFI_MIXED (which is only needed in rare cases these     days) (CVE-2024-26678)

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