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

  - A vulnerability was found in CRI-O, where it can be requested to take a checkpoint archive of a container
    and later be asked to restore it. When it does that restoration, it attempts to restore the mounts from
    the restore archive instead of the pod request. As a result, the validations run on the pod spec,
    verifying that the pod has access to the mounts it specifies are not applicable to a restored container.
    This flaw allows a malicious user to trick CRI-O into restoring a pod that doesn't have access to host
    mounts. The user needs access to the kubelet or cri-o socket to call the restore endpoint and trigger the
    restore. (CVE-2024-8676)

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