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

  - Revert net/smc: Introduce TCP ULP support This reverts commit d7cd421da9da2cc7b4d25b8537f66db5c8331c40.
    As reported by Al Viro, the TCP ULP support for SMC is fundamentally broken. The implementation attempts     to convert an active TCP socket into an SMC socket by modifying the underlying `struct file`, dentry, and     inode in-place, which violates core VFS invariants that assume these structures are immutable for an open     file, creating a risk of use after free errors and general system instability. Given the severity of this     design flaw and the fact that cleaner alternatives (e.g., LD_PRELOAD, BPF) exist for legacy application     transparency, the correct course of action is to remove this feature entirely. (CVE-2026-46330)

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