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

  - i3c: master: svc: Prevent IRQ storm from false SLVSTART on NPCM845 On NPCM845, when a target on the I3C     bus gets stuck holding SDA low, the controller reports a false Master Request (MR) in-band interrupt     event. The driver handles this by emitting a STOP condition to restore the bus. However, the hardware     quirk SVC_I3C_QUIRK_FALSE_SLVSTART indicates that emitting a STOP condition may spuriously set the     SLVSTART interrupt status bit. In the Master Request case, this creates a feedback loop: the STOP triggers     a new SLVSTART event, the IRQ handler fires again, the controller still reports an MR type, another STOP     is emitted, and the cycle repeats indefinitely, resulting in an IRQ storm that can lock up the CPU. Clear     the SLVSTART status bit explicitly after emitting the STOP in the Master Request IBI handler when the     SVC_I3C_QUIRK_FALSE_SLVSTART quirk is set. This breaks the feedback loop without affecting normal SLVSTART     processing, which is already guarded in the top-level IRQ handler by checking that MSTATUS is in SLVREQ     state. (CVE-2026-97515)

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