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: afs: Fix merge preference rule failure     condition syzbot reported a lock held when returning to userspace[1]. This is because if argc is less than     0 and the function returns directly, the held inode lock is not released. Fix this by store the error in     ret and jump to done to clean up instead of returning directly. [dh: Modified Lizhi Xu's original patch to     make it honour the error code from afs_split_string()] [1] WARNING: lock held when returning to user     space! 6.13.0-rc3-syzkaller-00209-g499551201b5f #0 Not tainted
    ------------------------------------------------ syz-executor133/5823 is leaving the kernel with locks     still held! 1 lock held by syz-executor133/5823: #0: ffff888071cffc00     (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#9){++++}-{4:4}, at: inode_lock include/linux/fs.h:818 [inline] #0:

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

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7595-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly     verify the target namespace when handling upcalls. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2025-2312)

    Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to     compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
