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: drm/amdgpu: fix double free err_addr     pointer warnings In amdgpu_umc_bad_page_polling_timeout, the amdgpu_umc_handle_bad_pages will be run many     times so that double free err_addr in some special case. So set the err_addr to NULL to avoid the     warnings. (CVE-2024-42123)

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