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

  - i40e: remove read access to debugfs files The 'command' and 'netdev_ops' debugfs files are a legacy     debugging interface supported by the i40e driver since its early days by commit 02e9c290814c (i40e:
    debugfs interface). Both of these debugfs files provide a read handler which is mostly useless, and which     is implemented with questionable logic. They both use a static 256 byte buffer which is initialized to the     empty string. In the case of the 'command' file this buffer is literally never used and simply wastes     space. In the case of the 'netdev_ops' file, the last command written is saved here. On read, the files     contents are presented as the name of the device followed by a colon and then the contents of their     respective static buffer. For 'command' this will always be <device>: . For 'netdev_ops', this will be     <device>: <last command written>. But note the buffer is shared between all devices operated by this     module. At best, it is mostly meaningless information, and at worse it could be accessed simultaneously as     there doesn't appear to be any locking mechanism. We have also recently received multiple reports for both     read functions about their use of snprintf and potential overflow that could result in reading arbitrary     kernel memory. For the 'command' file, this is definitely impossible, since the static buffer is always     zero and never written to. For the 'netdev_ops' file, it does appear to be possible, if the user carefully     crafts the command input, it will be copied into the buffer, which could be large enough to cause snprintf     to truncate, which then causes the copy_to_user to read beyond the length of the buffer allocated by     kzalloc. A minimal fix would be to replace snprintf() with scnprintf() which would cap the return to the     number of bytes written, preventing an overflow. A more involved fix would be to drop the mostly useless     static buffers, saving 512 bytes and modifying the read functions to stop needing those as input. Instead,     lets just completely drop the read access to these files. These are debug interfaces exposed as part of     debugfs, and I don't believe that dropping read access will break any script, as the provided output is     pretty useless. You can find the netdev name through other more standard interfaces, and the 'netdev_ops'     interface can easily result in garbage if you issue simultaneous writes to multiple devices at once. In     order to properly remove the i40e_dbg_netdev_ops_buf, we need to refactor its write function to avoid     using the static buffer. Instead, use the same logic as the i40e_dbg_command_write, with an allocated     buffer. Update the code to use this instead of the static buffer, and ensure we free the buffer on exit.
    This fixes simultaneous writes to 'netdev_ops' on multiple devices, and allows us to remove the now unused     static buffer along with removing the read access. (CVE-2025-39901)

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