patch available.

  - PHP through 5.6.27 and 7.x through 7.0.12 mishandles property modification during __wakeup processing,
    which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via
    crafted serialized data, as demonstrated by Exception::__toString with DateInterval::__wakeup.
    (CVE-2016-9138)

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