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: x86/mm: Don't apply va_align to     hugetlb mappings on AMD F15h get_align_mask() returns huge_page_mask_align() for hugetlbfs, but     get_align_bits() adds va_align.bits regardless, so vm_unmapped_area() returns an address off the huge page     boundary and __unmap_hugepage_range() hits BUG_ON(start & ~huge_page_mask(h)) at teardown. This can be     triggered on Carrizo and FX-8370E, both hstates. Pass the file to get_align_bits() and skip the     randomisation for hugetlbfs. [ bp: Massage commit message. ] (CVE-2026-98729)

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