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

  - net/mlx5e: Fix deadlocks between devlink and netdev instance locks In the mentioned Fixes commit,     various work tasks triggering devlink health reporter recovery were switched to use netdev_trylock to     protect against concurrent tear down of the channels being recovered. But this had the side effect of     introducing potential deadlocks because of incorrect lock ordering. The correct lock order is described by     the init flow: probe_one -> mlx5_init_one (acquires devlink lock) -> mlx5_init_one_devl_locked ->     mlx5_register_device -> mlx5_rescan_drivers_locked -...-> mlx5e_probe -> _mlx5e_probe -> register_netdev     (acquires rtnl lock) -> register_netdevice (acquires netdev lock) => devlink lock -> rtnl lock -> netdev     lock. But in the current recovery flow, the order is wrong: mlx5e_tx_err_cqe_work (acquires netdev lock)
    -> mlx5e_reporter_tx_err_cqe -> mlx5e_health_report -> devlink_health_report (acquires devlink lock =>     boom!) -> devlink_health_reporter_recover -> mlx5e_tx_reporter_recover ->     mlx5e_tx_reporter_recover_from_ctx -> mlx5e_tx_reporter_err_cqe_recover The same pattern exists in:
    mlx5e_reporter_rx_timeout mlx5e_reporter_tx_ptpsq_unhealthy mlx5e_reporter_tx_timeout Fix these by moving     the netdev_trylock calls from the work handlers lower in the call stack, in the respective recovery     functions, where they are actually necessary. (CVE-2026-45907)

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