"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 HFS filesystem. When reading an HFS volume's name at grub_fs_mount(), the HFS
    filesystem driver performs a strcpy() using the user-provided volume name as input without properly
    validating the volume name's length. This issue may read to a heap-based out-of-bounds writer, impacting
    grub's sensitive data integrity and eventually leading to a secure boot protection bypass.
    (CVE-2024-45782)

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