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: be2net: pass wrb_params in case of
 OS2BMC be_insert_vlan_in_pkt() is called with the wrb_params argument being NULL at be_send_pkt_to_bmc()
 call site. This may lead to dereferencing a NULL pointer when processing a workaround for specific packet,
