Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fix possible NULL pointer
dereference profile->parent->dents[AAFS_PROF_DIR] could be NULL only if its parent is made from
__create_missing_ancestors(..) and 'ent->old' is NULL in aa_replace_profiles(..). In that case, it must
return an error code and the code, -ENOENT represents its state that the path of its parent is not existed
yet. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030 PGD 0 P4D 0 PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 4
