"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 util-linux chfn and chsh utilities when compiled with Readline support. The
    Readline library uses an INPUTRC environment variable to get a path to the library config file. When the
    library cannot parse the specified file, it prints an error message containing data from the file. This
    flaw allows an unprivileged user to read root-owned files, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
    This flaw affects util-linux versions prior to 2.37.4. (CVE-2022-0563)

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