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

  - gpio: cdev: Fix resource leaks on errors in lineinfo_changed_notify() On error handling paths,     lineinfo_changed_notify() doesn't free the allocated resources which results leaks. Fix it.
    (CVE-2026-23079)

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

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / Pro Realtime 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8669-1 advisory.
