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

  - cifs: fix cifsFileInfo leak on kmalloc failure in deferred close drain paths In     cifs_close_deferred_file(), cifs_close_all_deferred_files(), and cifs_close_deferred_file_under_dentry(),     when a pending deferred close is cancelled via cancel_delayed_work(), the subsequent kmalloc_obj() to add     the file to the local processing list may fail under memory pressure. The loop breaks immediately, but the     cancelled work is no longer pending (it would have called _cifsFileInfo_put()), and the cfile is never     added to file_head for processing. The cifsFileInfo reference and the open server handle both leak. Fix by     saving the cfile that failed allocation in a local variable, breaking as before, and calling
    _cifsFileInfo_put() on it after releasing the lock. Any files later in the iteration are unaffected since     their deferred work is still pending and will fire normally. (CVE-2026-68312)

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