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

  - KissFFT versions prior to the fix commit 1b083165 contain an integer overflow in kiss_fft_alloc() in
    kiss_fft.c on platforms where size_t is 32-bit. The nfft parameter is not validated before being used in a
    size calculation (sizeof(kiss_fft_cpx) * (nfft - 1)), which can wrap to a small value when nfft is large.
    As a result, malloc() allocates an undersized buffer and the subsequent twiddle-factor initialization loop
    writes nfft elements, causing a heap buffer overflow. This vulnerability only affects 32-bit
    architectures. (CVE-2025-34297)

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