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: xdp: Remove WARN() from
__xdp_reg_mem_model() syzkaller reports a warning in __xdp_reg_mem_model(). The warning occurs only if
__mem_id_init_hash_table() returns an error. It returns the error in two cases: 1. memory allocation
fails; 2. rhashtable_init() fails when some fields of rhashtable_params struct are not initialized
properly. The second case cannot happen since there is a static const rhashtable_params struct with valid
fields. So, warning is only triggered when there is a problem with memory allocation. Thus, there is no
sense in using WARN() to handle this error and it can be safely removed. WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5065 at
