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

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix folio_queue ENOMEM in     writeback by adding a mempool Fix the handling of folio_queue allocation failure in writeback by adding a     mempool and passing in gfp_t flags to the rolling buffer functions that allocate memory, using the mempool     if gfp != GFP_KERNEL. This is then extended upwards and the gfp to be used for a request is stored in the     netfs_io_request struct and is then used for both requests and subrequests, eliminating the sleeping loops     there. The failure caused: folio != NULL WARNING: fs/netfs/write_issue.c:603 at     netfs_writepages+0x883/0xa10 fs/netfs/write_issue.c:603, CPU#3: syz.0.17/5919 (CVE-2026-74542)

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