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

  - x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory efi_free_boot_services() frees memory occupied by     EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA using memblock_free_late(). There are two issue with     that: memblock_free_late() should be used for memory allocated with memblock_alloc() while the memory     reserved with memblock_reserve() should be freed with free_reserved_area(). More acutely, with     CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y efi_free_boot_services() is called before deferred initialization of     the memory map is complete. Benjamin Herrenschmidt reports that this causes a leak of ~140MB of RAM on EC2     t3a.nano instances which only have 512MB or RAM. If the freed memory resides in the areas that memory map     for them is still uninitialized, they won't be actually freed because memblock_free_late() calls     memblock_free_pages() and the latter skips uninitialized pages. Using free_reserved_area() at this point     is also problematic because __free_page() accesses the buddy of the freed page and that again might end up     in uninitialized part of the memory map. Delaying the entire efi_free_boot_services() could be problematic     because in addition to freeing boot services memory it updates efi.memmap without any synchronization and     that's undesirable late in boot when there is concurrency. More robust approach is to only defer freeing     of the EFI boot services memory. Split efi_free_boot_services() in two. First efi_unmap_boot_services()     collects ranges that should be freed into an array then efi_free_boot_services() later frees them after     deferred init is complete. (CVE-2026-23352)

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