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

  - NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the Virtual GPU Manager (nvidia.ko), where it may lead to
    a use-after-free, which in turn may cause denial of service. This attack is complex to carry out because
    the attacker needs to have control over freeing some host side resources out of sequence, which requires
    elevated privileges. (CVE-2022-28192)

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