"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- A cross-site request forgery flaw was found in etcd 3.3.1 and earlier. An attacker can set up a website
that tries to send a POST request to the etcd server and modify a key. Adding a key is done with PUT so it
is theoretically safe (can't PUT from an HTML form or such) but POST allows creating in-order keys that an
attacker can send. (CVE-2018-1098)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
