patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in OpenStack Nova before 23.2.2, 24.x before 24.1.2, and 25.x before 25.0.2. By
    creating a neutron port with the direct vnic_type, creating an instance bound to that port, and then
    changing the vnic_type of the bound port to macvtap, an authenticated user may cause the compute service
    to fail to restart, resulting in a possible denial of service. Only Nova deployments configured with SR-
    IOV are affected. (CVE-2022-37394)

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