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 GNUPlot. A segmentation fault via IO_str_init_static_internal may jeopardize the     environment. (CVE-2025-3359)

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

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-960 advisory.
