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 side-effect bug in
match_char() macro usage The match_char() macro evaluates its character parameter multiple times when
traversing differential encoding chains. When invoked with *str++, the string pointer advances on each
iteration of the inner do-while loop, causing the DFA to check different characters at each iteration and
therefore skip input characters. This results in out-of-bounds reads when the pointer advances past the
input buffer boundary. [ 94.984676] ================================================================== [
