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

  - crypto: caam - fix DMA corruption on long hmac keys When a key longer than block size is supplied, it is     copied and then hashed into the real key. The memory allocated for the copy needs to be rounded to DMA     cache alignment, as otherwise the hashed key may corrupt neighbouring memory. The rounding was performed,     but never actually used for the allocation. Fix this by replacing kmemdup with kmalloc for a larger     buffer, followed by memcpy. (CVE-2026-43044)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:2195-1 advisory.
