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

  - Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to versions 4.1.137.Final and     4.2.17.Final, MqttEncoder does not validate client identifiers, will topics, usernames, and PUBLISH topic     names before encoding, allowing prohibited null bytes in MQTT UTF-8 string fields and potentially causing     routing, access-control, or identity mismatches in downstream brokers. The vulnerability is exploitable     when an application uses Netty's MQTT encoder to construct messages from user-controlled input. This issue     is fixed in versions 4.1.137.Final and 4.2.17.Final. (CVE-2026-76816)

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