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

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9-rc7. Traffic between two Geneve endpoints may
    be unencrypted when IPsec is configured to encrypt traffic for the specific UDP port used by the GENEVE
    tunnel allowing anyone between the two endpoints to read the traffic unencrypted. The main threat from
    this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2020-25645)

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