"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 libsoup's caching mechanism, SoupCache, where the HTTP Vary header is ignored when
    evaluating cached responses. This header ensures that responses vary appropriately based on request
    headers such as language or authentication. Without this check, cached content can be incorrectly reused
    across different requests, potentially exposing sensitive user information. While the issue is unlikely to
    affect everyday desktop use, it could result in confidentiality breaches in proxy or multi-user
    environments. (CVE-2025-9901)

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