patch available.

  - A script injection vulnerability was identified in the Tuned package. The `instance_create()` D-Bus
    function can be called by locally logged-in users without authentication. This flaw allows a local non-
    privileged user to execute a D-Bus call with `script_pre` or `script_post` options that permit arbitrary
    scripts with their absolute paths to be passed. These user or attacker-controlled executable scripts or
    programs could then be executed by Tuned with root privileges that could allow attackers to local
    privilege escalation. (CVE-2024-52336)

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