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

  - time/jiffies: Register jiffies clocksource before usage Teddy reported that a XEN HVM has a long boot     delay, which was bisected to the recent enhancements to the negative motion detection. It turned out that     the jiffies clocksource is used in early boot before it is registered, which leaves the max_delta_raw     field at zero. That causes the read out to be clamped to the max delta of 0, which means time is not     making progress. Cure it by ensuring that it is initialized before its first usage in timekeeping_init().
    (CVE-2026-68092)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
