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: ptp: vmclock: prevent read-only     mappings from becoming writable vmclock_miscdev_mmap() rejects writable mappings of the shared vmclock ABI     page with -EROFS, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set. Userspace can map the page read-only and then upgrade it to     writable with mprotect(), after which the guest can corrupt the host-written timekeeping data (sequence     counter, UTC time, TSC offset) that the vmclock ABI defines as read-only. Clear VM_MAYWRITE on the read-     only path so the mapping cannot be upgraded, as i915 does for its read-only objects and as fixed in     drm/vc4 (CVE-2026-68445) and drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071). (CVE-2026-80724)

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