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

  - Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Networking).
    Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u201, 7u191, 8u182 and 11; Java SE Embedded: 8u181.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple
    protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a
    person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read
    access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java
    deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets
    (in Java SE 8), that load and run untrusted code (e.g. code that comes from the internet) and rely on the
    Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers,
    that load and run only trusted code (e.g. code installed by an administrator). (CVE-2018-3139)

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