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

  - ksmbd: fix infinite loop caused by next_smb2_rcv_hdr_off reset in error paths The problem occurs when a     signed request fails smb2 signature verification check. In __process_request(), if check_sign_req()     returns an error, set_smb2_rsp_status(work, STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED) is called. set_smb2_rsp_status() set     work->next_smb2_rcv_hdr_off as zero. By resetting next_smb2_rcv_hdr_off to zero, the pointer to the next     command in the chain is lost. Consequently, is_chained_smb2_message() continues to point to the same     request header instead of advancing. If the header's NextCommand field is non-zero, the function returns     true, causing __handle_ksmbd_work() to repeatedly process the same failed request in an infinite loop.
    This results in the kernel log being flooded with bad smb2 signature messages and high CPU usage. This     patch fixes the issue by changing the return value from SERVER_HANDLER_CONTINUE to SERVER_HANDLER_ABORT.
    This ensures that the processing loop terminates immediately rather than attempting to continue from an     invalidated offset. (CVE-2026-23220)

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