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

  - NGINX Open Source before versions 1.23.2 and 1.22.1, NGINX Open Source Subscription before versions R2 P1
    and R1 P1, and NGINX Plus before versions R27 P1 and R26 P1 have a vulnerability in the module
    ngx_http_mp4_module that might allow a local attacker to corrupt NGINX worker memory, resulting in its
    termination or potential other impact using a specially crafted audio or video file. The issue affects
    only NGINX products that are built with the ngx_http_mp4_module, when the mp4 directive is used in the
    configuration file. Further, the attack is possible only if an attacker can trigger processing of a
    specially crafted audio or video file with the module ngx_http_mp4_module. (CVE-2022-41741)

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