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

  - A flaw was found in the 389-ds-base LDAP Server. This issue occurs when issuing a Modify DN LDAP operation     through the ldap protocol, when the function return value is not tested and a NULL pointer is     dereferenced. If a privileged user performs a ldap MODDN operation after a failed operation, it could lead     to a Denial of Service (DoS) or system crash. (CVE-2025-2487)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2025:3663 advisory.

    389 Directory Server is an LDAP version 3 (LDAPv3) compliant server. The base packages include the     Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server and command-line utilities for server administration.

    Security Fix(es):
